SINGAPORE – About 380 reverse vending machines by home-grown firm SG Recycle are being rolled out in the north and west regions of Singapore, as its CEO urges consumers to be patient when the beverage container return scheme begins in April.

SG Recycle’s founder and chief executive Mervin Ng reminded customers to return only plastic bottles and cans that are affixed with the logo.

“At the beginning, there might be a lot of rejection of the bottles and cans, and the public might get frustrated if they throw in non-labelled containers, but they have to bear with us because of the transition period,” he said to the media at the opening of the firm’s headquarters in Jurong on March 11.

New drink containers bearing the scheme’s deposit mark will gradually enter the market over a few months, and will become widespread only by August and September.

During this period, the beverage and retail industry will be clearing old stock without the deposit mark. This transition period, which was initially to last three months, was extended to six months following feedback from the industry.

Mr Ng also added that the cans and bottles should not be crushed or filled with liquid when they are dropped off into the machine. Otherwise, they will be rejected by the machine.

From April 1, customers will pay an additional 10 cents, which is a refundable, for bottled and canned drinks that have been labelled with a deposit logo.

The 10 cents will be refunded to consumers – either via ez-link cards or DBS PayLah! – once they drop off the used containers at reverse vending machines. Bottles and cans ranging from 150ml to 3 litres in capacity will be covered under the scheme.

So far, SG Recycle has installed about 200 reverse vending machines at HDB void decks in places including Jurong, Choa Chu Kang and Clementi. Each machine can hold around 1,000 containers.

Very incisive

This is super not eco friendly.

If people want to recycle, they will. The new bto already have the recycle bin and older ones have the big blue bin.

Because of the 10c, spend so much on the machine, manpower to collect, implement the changes to packaging, so much on electricity. How on earth is this supposed to help the environment?

This project this just extremely idiotic and made up by people who just wants to hit KPI.

Another performative greenwashing initiative

In line with the globalists.

Instead of solving real world problems like toughening traffic laws or clamping down on fake certs
