the power and resources consumed by these return machine, power and resources consumed by these server holding the database, power and resources consumed by the company taking this project. i believe the cost is more than 10cents per can.

Can the forced recycling work against all these additional expenditure? only time will tell.

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
