Tell us more about the reverse vending machines and why they are being introduced?

In everyday life, simple green habits can be developed easily over time which will help protect the environment and the world we live in. In the spirit of forming healthy green habits, F&N Foods has embarked on an initiative with NEA to encourage Singaporeans to adopt an eco-conscious lifestyle by offering them a convenient way to recycle used plastic drink bottles and aluminium drink cans with the help of these reverse vending machines.

Reverse vending machines are machines which are able to identify, sort and collect used plastic drink bottles and aluminium drink cans. The machines are programmed to identiy and reject containers which are not plastic drink bottles and aluminium drink cans, or are not empty or without readable barcodes.
