🗑️ WASTE SEGREGATION
RVM efficiently sorts materials, ensuring that collected recyclables are of higher quality and less likely to be contaminated. It diverts waste from landfills, which reduces environmental degradation caused by improper disposal of recyclable materials.

🎁 INCENTIVISE
RVM incentivises recycling by providing a convenient channel for individuals to recycle plastic bottles and aluminium cans, which can increase recycling rates in high-traffic areas like hospitals. Instead of cash rebate, this program motivates individuals to participate in recycling with point-to-gift scheme.

🟢 STORAGE AND COMPACTION
RVM avoids overfilling of recyclables, reduce the risk of spills, and ensure optimal capacity use. Tracking systems provide real-time information about the recyclable collection process, ensuring transparency.
