This project was starting from September 27,2013 to November 30, 2014. In order to establish an automatic operation system for waste drinking cup recycling, and searching for rentable automatic recycling machine, this project collected information of European countries (UK, German and north-European countries), USA, Australia and Asia (Japan and China) for possibility in establishing a drinking cup recycling automatic recycling machine. However, we discovered that there is no relevant drinking cup recycling automatic recycling machine. Therefore, our team decided to develop reverse vending machine to recycle waste drinking cups. There were developed in the April and finished testing in May.
Because the recycling value of waste drinking cups is low. For encouraging residents join recycling activities, this project combined with reward points platform for public having discount when they recycled waste drinking cup, contrasting the recycling value and recycling incentive, we finalized waste drinking cup recycling operation model. Complementary with current recycling channel, we set up automatic machine in the business district. After final assessment, one automatic recycling machine was set in Gongguan business distict in the end of June and another one was set in xingman distict in the end of July. In the begging of operating period (in the first two months), there were specialists who explain orally and clean surrounding area. In the later four months, there will have cleaner who go around inspect the machine every day. Until November 31,2014, there 52,555 drinking cups were being collected.
We have been received 117 questionnaire, residential satisfaction of discount mechanism is 54%, satisfaction of operation interface is 79%, satisfaction of recycling incentive is 81% and “like” this way of recycling is 93 %. Benefit analysis in this project, it cost 60,314 dollars/per month to maintain equipment, selling benefit are 339 dollars/per month, no advertising revenue from it in the period of time in project enforcement. Estimated advertisement revenue should be able to keep the reverse vending machine operated, residents can have at least 5 dollars discount average. It will increase the incoming around 1.57 million dollars for district stores. It is unnecessary for government funds this business model in the future. For popularized waste disposable waste drinking cup reverse vending machine outcome and business model, there had outcome presentation in the November 2014, various district stores owner and business representatives had make relevant suggestion for further operation.
