The RVMs serve as a powerful symbol of positivity and hope, both in their visual presence and the role that they play in our complete recycling service. They unite communities, and when complemented by carefully crafted communications, they help cultivate a self-sustaining cycle of optimism and connection.

A catalyst for change

The machines give back to the community and the environment

Here's an example where every can or bottle recycled, donates to a charity of choice on a University campus. The interactive screens can link through to any pay wall or web page for your call to action of choice.

The machines are showcased during key events

Our team work together with our customers on activations to inspire and encourage more people to use the machines and normalize recycling.

RVMs work seamlessly alongside other sustainable practices

The RVMs are a tangible act that all visitors can take part in whilst visiting Zoo Atlanta. We are proud that the machines are part of the Zoo's wider sustainability agenda to highlight the importance of the protection of wildlife and their habitats.

The machines play a pivotal part in University culture

Treasure hunts, competitions, voting for your favorite sports team - the possibilities are endless. The cloud connection to your machine means that we switch out content to suit any event to gamify the recycling experience.

How the RVMs work

STEP 1

A consumer buys and drinks their beverage. They now have an empty aluminum can or a PET bottle ready for recycling.

STEP 2

STEP 1

Consumers post their empty bottles & cans into the RVM. The bottle or can is scanned by the in-built lazer technology, taken by the conveyor to the back of the machine where it is crushed and guided into its holding compartment.

STEP 3

STEP 1

STEP 3

When the separate PET and aluminum compartments are full, the bags are removed by the location’s Custodial or Zero Waste/Green Teams.

STEP 4

STEP 3

Full bags of recyclables are placed into a nearby ATLAS Commodity Locker, typically located on a loading dock. ATLAS removes recyclables from Commodity Lockers when full (approx.10-12 bags).

STEP 5

ATLAS transports the filled bags from theATLAS Commodity Lockers to trailers / box trucks.

STEP 6

Recyclables are directed to end market PET & aluminum convertersfor another life / re-entry into thecircular economy.
