I see the belt all very dirty already. Some machines got smell. Especially those disgusting people pick from rubbish bin so dirty alreafy even worse.

Almost from day one its smelly
Obviously the ones clearing and cleaning them should do their job

Scholar's PowerPoint slides show it as very nice and clean leh. Don't think they have forsee/anticipated the current state.

I remember very early comms was to encourage people to wash and rinse the cans and bottles BEFORE putting into the machine. Scholars would have never expected that most humans don't follow the instructions.

There's many nuances to it

Staff at super market probably not paid extra to do it
Not told nor going to machine every 1 hour to clean spillages

And not even talking about non super market staff but those roaming and clearing the cans when full

 

[Joseph12]

Like I said something is happening

First time i see those GIGANTIC machines which can hold 4 or 5 or maybe more capacity than normal ones are FULL?

Someone not working?

I didn't bother looking at the law
But I don't think its merely a logo which allows them to be sold in Singapore

Its likely the requirement of the beverage companies being registered and be involved in whole scheme

https://sso.agc.gov.sg/act/rsa2019?ProvIds=P14B-#pr23P-

23P.—(1) Subject to subsection (2), any person (including a producer of a beverage product) must not, on or after the prescribed date, supply or offer to supply in Singapore any beverage product, unless the beverage container for the beverage product is affixed with —

(a)	a deposit mark; and
(b)	a barcode by which the beverage product may be identified.

so as long as there is a BCRS logo and barcode in the beverage, it can be sold in Singapore, but the act never say the barcode must be registered into the BCRS system, so its a loophole

Me ask AI

• BCRS Ltd. is a not-for-profit company and the licensed operator of Singapore’s Beverage Container Return Scheme. Default
• It was formed by a consortium of beverage producers:
  • Coca-Cola Singapore Beverages
  • F&N Foods
  • Pokka National Environment Agency+1
• Its board also includes representatives from Wanin Industries and Chia Khim Lee Food Industries to represent smaller producers. National Environment Agency
• NEA does not own BCRS Ltd. NEA licenses and regulates the scheme; BCRS Ltd. operates it. National Environment Agency

So, in simple terms: BCRS Ltd. is industry-owned/industry-led, with Coca-Cola, F&N and Pokka as the founding consortium. bcrs.sg


me as ai BCRS Ltd. is industry-owned/industry-led mean what it say

In simple terms:

“Industry-owned/industry-led” means BCRS Ltd. is set up and run by companies from the beverage industry, rather than being a government-owned company.

For BCRS:

• BCRS Ltd. operates Singapore’s Beverage Container Return Scheme.
• The beverage companies themselves helped establish it through a founding consortium.
• The founding companies are Coca-Cola Singapore Beverages, F&N Foods, and Pokka.
• These companies therefore have a role in governance and decision-making for BCRS.
• The Singapore Government/NEA is the regulator, not the owner. NEA sets the regulatory requirements and oversees the scheme.
• BCRS Ltd. is intended to operate the scheme as a not-for-profit industry scheme operator, rather than as a company whose purpose is to distribute profits to shareholders.

that why it is such a shitty set up

 

[wwenze]

In simple terms:

 

[vai_fan]

good initiative for sinkies to experience healthy living picking up cans and getting an income

 

[richardo-bell]

that why it is such a shitty set up

also no financial disclosure for transparency like how much unclaimed desposits are collected

looks like a very shady company

 

[The_King]

that why it is such a shitty set up

no wonder those parallel import bottle and canned drink having issues selling

 

[Mecisteus]

Not a concern if you rarely buy those drinks.

 

[The_King]

that why it is such a shitty set up

me always thought it by nea owned, setup and collect until i SSRR

 

[whatheheck]

 

[iceblendedchoc]

me always thought it by nea owned, setup and collect until i SSRR

it make sense for them to own everything from manufacturing to recycling for money reasons

[Joseph12]

Why at kopitiam I buy bottle from the stall, drink then I can’t return the bottle to the stall to collect back my 10c? Must bring the empty bottle with me until I see a return machine?
