Coles is leading the most exciting sustainable drive across all its Victorian stores. The supermarket chain is on a spree to install 47 Reverse Vending Machines in alignment with the state-sponsored launch of a Container Deposit Scheme on November 1. The cash-redeemable RVMs will collect plastic, glass and aluminium drink containers.
It is vital for Victorians to participate in the Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) to earn a 10-cent refund for each eligible can, bottle or carton they return. Coles General Manager Grocery Leanne White emphasizes that the CDS is an excellent opportunity for customers to be rewarded for recycling and contribute towards a sustainable environment. By returning used aluminium cans, plastic bottles and other eligible containers, one can ensure that they are recycled into new products.

Cole General Manager Leanne White exemplified: "We're proud to be adding Reverse Vending Machines to 47 stores across the state in the coming months, from Bendigo to Blackburn, Berwick and Braybrook; we want to help make recycling as easy as possible for our customers."

"Now Victorian customers can be rewarded for returning their used cans, bottles and cartons, with the option to put the funds towards their next shop at Coles, redeem for cash, give to a charity, or add it straight into their bank account," Leanne added.

TOMRA Cleanaway was specifically selected by the Victorian Government to ascertain refund junctures, including instalments of RVMs across the western suburbs of Melbourne and west of Victoria. CEO James Dorney expressed his satisfaction in partnering with Coles to establish refund points at various stores across the state.
