For each acceptable item recycled, the machine issues a voucher to the value of 5p which can then be redeemed at any college restaurant, bar or shop.
Steve Davies, vice principal of Sparsholt College said: “We’re thrilled to be the first in the UK to advocate reverse vending recycling. It’s a great initiative which has already proved popular with students and demonstrates our commitment to environmental sustainability.”
Tesco is set to introduce reverse vending machine at nine stores in Scotland in January. The machines will reward customers with Clubcard points for recycling bottles and cans.
