Options Recycling Limited, a division of Options Management Limited develop and deliver reverse vending recycling systems to a wide range of market sectors in the UK, from high schools, colleges, universities through to supporting vending operations, to providing major supermarkets with a modern alternative for their front of store recycling facilities. The latest reverse vending technology enables clean and convenient recovery, processing and presentation of used aluminum and steel cans, plastic and glass bottles, plastic and paper cups, also other types of catering packaging. Recovered containers are crushed or shredded reducing transport required to transfer stations or reprocessors as a processed secondary raw material for recycling. This impacts on carbon footprints and energy usage. Machines take up no more space than a traditional vending unit and offer a direct, complementary marketing opportunity for brand-owners, sponsors and organisations that wish to overtly demonstrate their producer, corporate, social and environmental responsibilities in a positive and practical manner. Systems may be purchased, leased or rented with selected programmes, linked to vending, offering a neutral or profit making solution to waste and litter management.
