Envipco Tapped for Major U.K. Reverse Vending Rollout of 1,700 Machines

Envipco, the Netherlands-based reverse vending specialist, has been selected as the exclusive supplier of reverse vending machines for an unidentified major retailer in the U.K., with an expected deployment of roughly 1,700 machines across the retailer's stores nationwide. The company said final contracts are still being negotiated and that it will announce an update once agreements are signed. The planned rollout covers Envipco's Compact, Flex, Optima and Magna models under an agreement that includes both equipment sales and service. Deliveries are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027. For operators and equipment suppliers, the selection is the latest sign that reverse vending demand is scaling up in the U.K. as retailers prepare for container deposit obligations, following Tomra's recent appointment as preferred supplier for roughly 2,000 machines by another British retail group. The equipment-and-service structure also points to multi-year service revenue attached to large fleet deployments, not just one-time hardware sales. Envipco, based in Amersfoort, develops automated systems that collect used beverage containers for recycling, with technology spanning container identification, material recognition, compaction and deposit accounting. The company is listed on stock exchanges in Amsterdam and Oslo. Source: Vending Times — https://www.vendingtimes.com/news/envipco-tapped-for-major-reverse-vending-rollout/
