Machines have made the world a better place. It is actually the engineers who develop these machines that are responsible for such improvements. Take the machines that we have in Australia as an example, these eliminate the need to sort bottles from cans, from plastics etc. The device scans each device that is entered and either accepts it for the recycling credit or rejects it! This makes good sense for the company recycling these items and those whom can conveniently drive to one of these machines and quickly get some cash back. Here you could 10 cents per plastic bottle. This is sustainability as it should be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
