Circulr Collection Technology
How We Got Here
As Circulr operated its reusable packaging platform we found that there was a gap in the market when it came to automating the collection process. Many stores interested in Circulr’s returnable packaging model wanted to join the platform but were uninterested in having their staff manage returns. Though there were automated machines to handle packaging returns, commonly referred to as Reverse Vending Machines (RVM) these machines typcially focused only on recyclable packaging, with limited functionality when it came to reusables. Additionally these machines were usually expensive and sourced primarily from outside of North America, leaving a gap for a reuse-focused, low-cost, Canadian made RVM. Circulr decided to develop its own RVM in order to fill this gap and better service our growing reuse system.
The Circulr Difference
Circulr’s automated collection machine, other wise known as a Reverse Vending Machine (RVM), stands apart from other RVM’s in a few key ways that are important to Canadian retailers.
