Make, Model & Classification
| Name | Reverse Vending Machine |
| Model | T53 |
| Classification | Sorting |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | Reverse Vending Machine to collect and sort rigid containers (e.g. beverage containers) into pure material fractions and then compact for optimised storage / logistics. It provides consumers with various incentive options (rewards, vouchers, loyalty points, prizes etc) to recycle. It also offers opportunities for brand or product marketing and advertising, and generating customer loyalty. |
| Operating Principles | The T53 RVM improves both quality and quantity of recycling. It sorts containers into pure saleable material streams, while rejecting contamination, ensuring highest value recyclate and it compacts, or crushes containers for optimum logistics. It provides incentives for use to build maximum recycling volumes. The T53 is best suited to medium throughput volumes - e.g. up to 2-3,000 containers per day. |
| Additional Information | These RVMs are new to Australia. However TOMRA has over 70,000 machines installed around the world which collectively process over 30 billion containers annually. RVMs not only streamline high quality recycling, but act as a marketing platform to attract and retain customers. The T53 comes with a colour touch screen. All TOMRA RVMs come with a 12 month warranty on parts and labour. Revive Recycling can also offer to own/operate models in which no investment in the RVM equipment is required. |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
