When people think about automated reverse vending machines (RVMs), they usually picture those massive, floor-space-consuming units hidden away in the backrooms of giant supermarkets. For smaller stores, kiosks, service stations, and cafes, adopting automated recycling has often been a space issue rather than a lack of interest.
We engineered a solution specifically for this gap. The Pure RVM 5 is designed to prove that high-performance recycling doesn’t actually require a massive footprint.
Future-Proofing for the 2029 EU Mandate
Regulatory deadlines are approaching faster than they seem. Under the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), member states must hit a 90% separate collection rate for single-use plastic bottles and metal containers by 2029. Meeting this target means deposit return schemes (DRS) will need to expand far beyond traditional supermarkets. The Pure RVM 5 helps smaller commercial properties, hospitality venues, and offices prepare for this shift early—turning a future compliance requirement into an immediate customer foot-traffic driver.
Why the Status Quo is No Longer an Option
Standing at exactly 150 cm in height, the Pure RVM 5 has a highly optimized footprint. It is built to slide easily into retail corners, high-traffic corridors, office breakrooms, or local convenience stores.
Crucially, the compact design doesn’t mean limited capability; the unit is fully optimized to handle beverage containers up to 3 liters in size.
High-Speed Processing & Flexible Storage
To prevent queues and keep the user experience seamless, the machine processes 35–45 items per minute. It is quick, quiet, and intuitive for the end-user.
Inside, the storage setup can be configured based on your specific volume needs:
Dual Container Setup: Holds 600 cans + 200 PET bottles (ideal for separated sorting).
Single Large Container Setup: Maximizes capacity for a single stream, scaling up to 1,200 cans or 400 PET bottles before requiring an empty.
Keeping Operations Simple and Profitable
An RVM only works if it doesn’t create extra work for your staff. The Pure RVM 5 is built with low operational and maintenance costs in mind. Automated status updates and fill-level alerts ensure the machine runs smoothly in the background, minimizing manual upkeep.
By integrating automated recycling into your location, you streamline your facility’s waste management, generate clean ESG data, and offer an effortless green service to your visitors or customers.
