Deposit Return Scheme Explained

The EU has mandated that recycling rates for single‑use plastic and aluminium drink containers must reach 90% by 2029, with member states using Deposit Return Schemes (DRS) to achieve this. DRS incentivises consumers to return containers for recycling through a refundable deposit.

Small to medium‑sized retailers are currently underserved by centralised DRS solutions built around large RVMs, and Trovr addresses this gap with its disruptive Trovr QUBE and app‑based solutions for the manual handling market.

The future of recycling

RVMs facilitate the efficient management and recycling of single-use plastic and glass bottles as well as aluminium cans in accordance with the new deposit return scheme.

The Benefits of the Trovr ‘Qube’:

  • Increase Sales – The Trovr Merchant App enables retailers to create their own in-App discounts and encouraging consumers to spend more in store.
  • Higher Returns – As the most cost-effective technology solution for SME retailers, QUBE requires the lowest capital investment while delivering the highest return on investment.
  • Retail Footfall – With less than 0.4m2 footprint, the QUBE is the smallest recycling unit available on the market maximising the available space in retail environments.
  • Digital Payments – The Trovr QUBE and App platform guarantees seamless transactions for retailers ensuring that scheme handling fees are realized promptly.
  • Reliable & Self Service – Removes staff involvement in actual bottle/can handling. Eliminates recycling queues at checkout.
  • Hygiene – Eliminates the necessity for staff to handle containers over the counter. Reduces risk of cross-contamination, odours, and liquid spillage.
  • Recycling Data – The Trovr QUBE and App platform enables real time monitoring reducing waste storage and costs.

The DRS allows retailers to influence perception by demonstrating their commitment to environmental protection and playing their part in improving public spaces.

Smartphone app

The Trovr smartphone app offers an alternative method for customers to reclaim the reward for recycling their waste. Users are rewarded for each recycled item with one point collected on the app, which can then be redeemed against a multitude of products including clothing and groceries. The app is a cashless, verifiable and fraud-resistant solution that will benefit both retailers and their shoppers.
