Company Products
Reverse Vending Machines
Envipco products include Reverse vending machines and customized solutions for its clients. Reverse vending machines (RVMs) collect, compact and sort customers' empty beverage containers and, where applicable, issue a voucher redeemable for cash. The Envipco RVMs can also have interactive advertising, couponing and integration with Retailer POS.
Envipco's reverse vending machines differ based on the market in which they appear. In deposit-and-return markets, the reverse vending machines use bar code and/or camera technology to identify the product being recycled. In non-deposit markets the reverse vending machines identify the product as being PET or aluminum.[1]
In the United States, Envipco machines are most common in the 10 states that require bottle deposits. Envipco's products can be found around the globe in both deposit and non-deposit markets - including USA, Canada, the UK, France, Sweden, Greece, Cyprus, Australia and Japan.
Envipco's current flagship product is the Quantum bulk-feed reverse vending machine. The Quantum is the first successful bulk-feed RVM in the industry - a quantum leap in the consumer experience, allowing emptying of entire bags of containers into the machine (no feeding one container at a time). It is the most efficient return of containers in quantities processing over 100 cans and plastic bottles/ minute.
The Ultra 48 and HDS product lines are ADA compliant and the mainstay for high volume, single-feed RVMs in the Deposit Market generating a cash voucher for a refund of the deposit paid on the container.
For smaller shops and stores, the Flex product is the right model. It is the smallest footprint RVM in Envipco's product portfolio with the lowest price tag. This RVM is best suited for convenience stores, pharmacies, gas stations and other venues where container returns are typically low volume.
In states that do not have bottle deposits, as well as outside of the United States, reverse vending machines can generate coupons, prizes or vouchers for donations to schools.[1]
Recycling Centers
Envipco's products are also featured in Recycling Centers. The Quantum Outdoor RVM itself can be installed in less than 3 standard parking spaces. It allows storage of approximately 60,000 containers before it needs to be emptied. Envipco's Ultra 48 and Ultra HDS are also featured in outdoor kiosks - especially prolific in the Greek (non-deposit) and Australian (deposit) markets.
