Shelton, Conn. — May 9, 2019—TOMRA of North America reporting consumers redeemed over 40 billion single use plastic beverage containers. That’s all though its reverse vending machines (RVMs) in 2018. Also and as a result more than 2 billion redeemed in the Northeast. RVMs collect beverage containers for recycling. In addition they prevent them from entering oceans and landfills.
So when a plastic bottle is returned to an RVM. Then material becomes protected from contamination. Contamination from other types of household waste.
