Greenwashing and benefiting their own cronies who are involved in manufacturing and maintaining the machines.. go see Japan, their recycling is so simple just bins. yet their recycling rates are so much higher than ours. Japanese people are used to separating different types of trash by type.

Whole lot of good this sh*t will do. Its a wastage of government $ (aka taxpayer monies) to spend on the infrastructure eg all the new machines.

The net effect of this scheme:
- passing on costs ($0.10 per new bottle with the deposit mark) to consumers
- even with the refund, not everyone will return the bottle, unless they just happen to come across a machine nearby
- eventually, some how, the price of all drinks (not just the bottled drinks with the deposit mark) will get marked up by $0.10 magically
- huge upfront environmental cost of this scheme (paying $ for consultation for new machines, building new machines, new machines taking up space)
- scheme may not be environmentally sustainable in the long run
- people either don't always return the bottles, or they just don't buy bottled drinks/beverage.

Heck, with the upfront $0.10 charge on new bottles, its almost like we are paying them for the privilege of returning the bottles and doing the sai kang for the recycling company.

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.

Lol waste resources then tell us to be environmentally friendly

Greenwashing and benefiting their own cronies who are involved in manufacturing and maintaining the machines.. go see Japan, their recycling is so simple just bins. yet their recycling rates are so much higher than ours. Japanese people are used to separating different types of trash by type.

I wouldn't call Japan's waste management system/recycling as simple. Japan has strict rules on properly sorting rubbish/trash properly, and also strict collection rules (designated collection days).

I think it works in Japan because overall, Japanese people seem to be a stickler for cleanliness and rules, along with acknowledging their personal responsibility in helping to take care of the environment.

However, it seems some in Japan aren't as enamored with how the garbage disposable system is designed.
