Reduce & Collect: The PET Plastic Bottle Sustainability Solution
In the face of escalating climate change and global warming, businesses and municipalities are facing increasing pressure to implement environmental measures. PET bottles are lightweight, easy to sort, and well-suited for collection at facilities and retail outlets. Transforming used PET bottles from waste into resources -PET bottle collection offers a wide range of benefits, including reducing ocean pollution of plastic, achieving decarbonization, and fostering a circular economy.
DIGI’s PET bottle recovery machine DRV boasts a proven track record across various industries, including supermarkets, convenience stores, commercial facilities, municipalities, offices, and hotels. By involving customers in the collection process, DRV serves as a readily accessible “threshold of recycling," raising individual awareness of resource recycling and contributing to local communities.

DRV compresses the volume of inserted PET bottles by one-third. This enables the shipping of large quantities of bottles at once, reducing CO2 emissions during transportation by approximately 63%. Additionally, the remanufacturing process of collected bottles further reduces CO2 emissions by around 67%. The "Visualization Board” monitor enables DRV users to track their progress towards decarbonization and ocean plastic reduction.

"Bottle to bottle" is horizontal recycling that transforms PET bottles back into PET bottles. High-quality collection is crucial as impurities like caps, labels, leftover drinks, and cigarette butts can hinder the process. DRV features a revolutionary system that automatically detects non-PET bottle materials using sensors, preventing them from entering the machine.
DRV is an innovative recycling system packed with cutting-edge technology, aiming to realize a sustainable society through collaboration between users, businesses, and DIGI.
