No no…this is not the reverse vending machine.
The next time you go to NTUC FairPrice at Waterway Point, please bring along empty bottles and cans.
F&B company Fraser and Neave (F&N) worked with FairPrice to introduce the first reverse vending machine at Waterway Point yesterday (9 January).
The machine will take in used cans and bottles and uses “advanced technology to identify, sort and collect” the containers. For every 5 containers that it takes in, users of the machine will receive a 50 cents vouchers to purchase F&N’s Ice Mountain water at FairPrice supermarkets.
More of such machines will be installed at Yew Tee Point and Bukit Merah Central’s FairPrice outlets.
Limpeh like this idea. Recycling is good. But hor, everytime must carry cans and bottles to NTUC can be quite tiring leh. Maybe can have more machines around neighbourhoods so that more people can do more recycling.
