i see my area people just put the bottles and cans on top of the machine and leave


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

Those are the brainwashed green converts. I just want my money back.

Come to think of it, there is very simple solution. Just extend the machine to have a recycle "hole" for users to just throw the can in. The can will go into the same "collection box" as the QRCode via a different path. And have a cam outside to catch those throwing rubbish inside.

Would be the similar setup as clothes recycling, etc.

They already pump millions into it. Now you ask them cut one hole is cost another million maybe

actually it just means its littering to be honest but at least people tried

i didn't look at the bottle and can to see if it was washed or not. personally the hassle of washing and drying make me just want to throw away rather than the 10 cents

There used to be this cans return machine that accept all drink cans. Not sure why they don't bring that back but create something extra

 

[OutBreak]

In other words. They win win.. we are at the losing end. Is there a disclaimer that you will not get back your 10 cents?

The "no refund, continue anyway" option makes total sense from a pure recycling standpoint. The can is still aluminium, the bottle is still PET, material value doesn't change just because the barcode is from old stock or damaged. If the goal is actually recycling and not just deposit administration, reject makes zero sense

Ultimately this scheme was designed around the deposit tracking, not around maximising recycling

well said

sorry sir... with your kind of thinking, then why we bother to discuss anything lei ?

Just let other discuss their ideas, can or not ?

 

[_eMuu_]

What could be some of the causes that the machine reject the bottle?

The bottle have the qr code leh.

No error message on why it reject the bottle.

Sorry, recycling is just not in common folks' blood. Have not used it and probably will not. I just throw all my bottles/cans into the chute, not worth the hassle to lug them to another place just for 10c ea.....the bus fare to and fro prob more than my 1week of cans/bottles (at least 2 per day).

Let's see how long this project will last ...

bingo..
Beverage Container Return Scheme Ltd. (BCRS) Ltd. is the licensed, not-for-profit scheme operator for the Beverage Container Return Scheme. Licensed by the National Environment Agency (NEA), BCRS Ltd.'s core responsibilities for the seven-year period (1 April 2026 to 31 March 2033) on behalf of all beverage producers in Singapore include collecting, sorting, recycling eligible beverage containers, and setting up return points.

Board & Scheme Integrity​

BCRS Ltd. is formed by a consortium of beverage producers comprising Coca-Cola Singapore Beverages, F&N Foods, and Pokka. Beyond the founding producers, the Board also includes representatives from smaller local producers, Wanin Industries and Chia Khim Lee Food Industries, to ensure that the interests of smaller producers are considered.
All funds from producers are reinvested into the scheme to keep it efficient, transparent, and sustainable for everyone, in line with the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework.





So everything else is the RECYCLING contractor issue not their job to improve their other party scope.

looking at who forms the BCRS... now i know why they do it liao.
can up the prices of drinks. then just block ppl from collecting $$ thru some cccck up.

 

[Elfblade]

So what if invalid barcode? Must reject and make people throw in rubbish bin?

Cannot include another test case like "you will not receive refund, do you wish to continue" and accept the can/bottle for recycling regardless?

MIW Party = LPPL.

 

[standarture]

Because the machine is not smart enough to detect if it is plastic yet. Please la, need to think first.

 

[5adisticD3vil]

must ask the scholar who come up with this

 

[white_prince]

tested a few times then the machine can take the bottle or go to another machine

借环保之名...

遗憾的是，一些别有居心的团体或企业，有时会巧妙的利用环保的课题来作掩饰，以达到他们不能公开说明的隐藏议题和目的。从表面上来看，他们的提议和所争取的，是今天世界上无人能够拒绝承认的生态课题，但锦囊里是否另有乾坤则难说。
