Reverse Vending Machines (Recycle N Save)
Info

Recycle N Save started a joint initiative by F&N and NEA to place 50 Smart Reverse Vending Machines across Singapore to encourage recycling of used plastic drink bottles and aluminium drink cans.
There are now plans to expand the network of machines to 400+ in order to support a national deposit system for plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Read More Here.
