Convenience stores and gas stations

Consumer studies* show that 20% of consumers returning empties in grocery stores would prefer to return at convenience stores, gas stations or kiosks if they offered a reverse vending machine. And as much as 80% of the shoppers at a gas station think it is extremely or very appropriate for the station to have a reverse vending machine.

Prior to UNO's release in 2005, relatively few automated return machines were to be found at gas stations and small convenience stores. The main reason for this was that the solutions available on the market up until that point were directed toward high volume return points, which often require complex and space-intensive installations. The versatile and compact UNO has proven to be the perfect solution for this market segment - over 500 gas stations in Europe have installed UNO and are now enjoying the benefits of an automated container return solution.
