Recomat MINI

The most convenient way to collect packaging manually

A compact solution combining manual packaging collection with a semi-automatic bin, designed for smaller retail outlets. The device lets store staff retain full oversight of returned packaging while significantly easing their daily workload.

Thanks to its semi-automatic operation, employees no longer need to manually sort or scan each package individually – the process is faster, more convenient and less time-consuming. Recomat MINI is a practical alternative to full RVMs, providing control, simplicity and efficient handling of the deposit-return system with minimal space requirements.

Compact size – maximum installation convenience

With its small dimensions (120 × 60 × 50 cm), Recomat MINI can be easily placed in almost any retail space, especially where there is no room for larger machines.

Its compact construction allows for flexible adaptation to the store layout without disrupting customer flow or daily operations. As a result, Recomat MINI is practical, discreet and easy to integrate, delivering the full functionality of the deposit-return system even in limited space.

A simple way to join the deposit-return system

Although mandatory participation in the deposit-return system mainly concerns large chains, every store can benefit by attracting customers and increasing transaction flow. For small retailers, investing in a full-size reverse vending machine can be too costly – which is why Recomat MINI offers a budget-friendly, practical solution that makes joining the deposit-return system possible without major expenditure.

This allows a small shop to surprise its customers with a modern convenience, improve service comfort and build the image of an environmentally friendly place, while staying competitive with larger chains.

FAQ

Do I need a reverse vending machine to take part in the deposit-return system?
No. Manual collection, including with a bin, is a fully legitimate way of implementing the deposit-return system – particularly recommended for smaller shops and locations with limited space. A reverse vending machine is one option, not the only path.
How much space does Recomat MINI take up?
Significantly less than a full-size machine. Recomat MINI measures just under 120 cm in height and a little over 60 cm in width and 50 cm in depth. This allows it to be placed in almost any retail space.
Can I start with manual collection and switch to a machine later?
Yes. Manual collection works very well as a transitional stage: it lets you learn the real volume of returns, shows the workload on staff, and gathers data useful for deciding to invest in an RVM.
