The Solution |
|
| |
As winners of the “Green Hero Award 2006” the Eastgate team led by Ian Cunliffe had researched best practices for recycling. Working with the technical team at Reverse Vending Corporation it was decided that the best solution would be the introduction of a purpose designed reverse vending recycling machine made specifically for the Eastgate Shopping Centre. |
|
| |
The bespoke reVend ™ 370 model reverse vending recycling machine was designed with two separation areas and two compactors. As the machine is sited in a busy public area, it was essential that all Health and Safety issues were met. |
|
| |
The reVend™ 370 RVM machine works on a standard UK Electricity supply 240 volt - 3 pin Plug |
|
| |
Materials Handling |
|
| |
As the reverse vending recycling machine separates PET plastic bottles and cans (steel & aluminium) from the waste stream, a solution was required for recycling these “new” recyclates. |
|
| |
Reverse Vending Corporation’s strategic waste management partner involved its expert solution team to establish an infrastructure for on-site segregation, collection and storage of materials as well as providing complementary off-site services including detailed statistical reporting on the full waste audit trail. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
1st in the UK |
|
| |
The installation of the reVend™ 370 reverse vending recycling machine is
the first installation of a reverse vending recycling machine in a major UK retail shopping centre. |
|
| |
The Eastgate Shopping Centre, owned by British Land, a leading FTSE corporation, has paved the way for other leading UK shopping centres to follow and help the environment through positive recycling of used beverage containers. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
