Revend Recycling Limited, a United Kingdom-based corporation, recently announced their launching of an innovative vending machine specifically designed for recycling. This reverse vending machine will collect recycled domestic light fixtures and batteries. Named reVend, the light fixture recycling machine offers add-ons ,such as options, for collecting and recycling domestic batteries that contain scarce and valuable mineral resources.
There has been a rise of people desiring to recycle their light fixtures and use more eco-friendly and efficient light bulbs such as LEDs. LEDs or Light-emitting diodes use a cold process when creating light, which means that they require less energy to produce the same amount of light, as a usual incandescent light would use. LED's also last much longer than other domestic light fixtures and their return of investment is well worth the more expensive price tag.
Rates for recycling domestic lights are a big issue in the lighting industry. Many international light producers and suppliers are facing questions about why light bulbs are ending up in garbage pits and landfills at considerable financial and environmental cost. With the light fixture recycling machines, recycling rates could very well be reduced. The introduction of the machine could also give a hand to organizations and companies in complying with recycling goals and environmental obligations.
Revend Recycling is going to market and sell their unique vending machines all throughout the United States, Europe, with plans for worldwide distribution in the works. The target is to help everyone go green by making recycling simpler and easier to do.
Currently, many private and public sectors are working together to promote going green with our domestic needs. Many countries are starting to invest more in greener and more energy efficient household items.
