Reverse Vending: the future of the circular economy, driven by data and IoT connectivity

Waste management is undergoing a profound transformation driven by new legal frameworks for sustainability. The Deposit, Return and Refund System (SDDR) redefines this model by transforming traditional recycling into a distributed digital infrastructure, where reverse vending machines (RVMs) operate as smart nodes connected in real time.

Thanks to multi-technology connectivity (4G/5G and NB-IoT) and high-precision sensors, Telefónica Tech’s solution optimises logistics, guarantees the purity of the recovered material and offers advanced analytics. Its versatility allows it to be successfully integrated into a wide range of scenarios, from the retail sector and smart cities to corporate campuses.
