Abstract - the primary focus of Plastic Eco-Redeemer

of recycling. After discovering its advantages, this technology has been installed in other countries. India is making efforts to reduce trash, but the Plastic Eco-Redeemer Vending Machine's high implementation and maintenance costs make it impractical to use[1]. This project is largely motivated by the need to promote the adoption of Plastic Eco-Redeemer Vending Machines in India by developing a prototype that focuses on reducing energy consumption. Only a tiny portion of the bottles that are used are recycled, which results in an excessive number of bottles being utilized. We thus created a smart machine for disposing of plastic bottles to tackle this significant issue by making recycling practical and beneficial for the general population. Such a device functions similarly to an ATM in terms of simplicity. This device has a bottle port that can take bottles. The bottle may be inserted at the discretion of the user. A weight mechanism is used to determine whether to accept the bottle for recycling once it has been added to the intake. The depositor may earn rewards points by entering their special PIN if the bottle is approved. The bottle is returned to the user if it is rejected. A variety of venues, including retail centers, bus stops, and train stations, may benefit from this effort.

vending machine is the collection process of plastic water bottles and using mobile applications for giving away rewards. It is a technique that may be used to boost the rate of recycling. It can also be a responsible technique to lessen the plastic waste such as water bottle that are discarded without knowledge the plastic waste can be recycled. This device can be set up in numerous areas including railway station, bus stops, airports, and other public spaces. Plastic bottles are significant source of waste Recycling may reduce the amount of plastic water bottles thrown to trash or landfills. In addition of helping to decrease the plastic waste. It also helps to decrease energy usage and greenhouse gases emission. It also assists to generate employment We can save several resources such as oil & gas by recycling plastic Waste. The machine works by operating Using QR code scanner and inserting water bottle into the vending machine. This process is very user friendly and simple in front end and back end. Initial calculations are performed in the mobile application and the weight and exchange price will be displayed. Key Words: Eco Redeemer, vending machine, Mobile application, Plastic bottles, Recycling, QR code, Employment, Frontend, Back end, Weight, Process. Exchange price,

2. LITRATURE SURVEY [1]The design and installation of a Plastic Eco-Redeemer Vending Machine (RVM) for recycling plastic bottles are discussed in this study. The benefits of RVMs and the necessity for their deployment are briefly discussed by the writers. The document outlines the bottle recycling process flow as well as the hardware and software components utilized in the RVM. The authors conclude that using RVMs may help decrease plastic waste and promote more environmentally friendly behaviors.

1. INTRODUCTION The world is in peril and suffers greatly from the everyday manufacturing of so much plastic and the usage of so many plastic items. Recycling is the conversion of trash into useful materials. It is fully implemented with official support in Western countries. But rubbish is a regular sight in our country. The promotion of recycling by local governments receives less attention. As part of one of the neighborhood projects, recycling bins are put in public spaces. It follows that people are deterred from recycling because of its inconvenience and inefficiency. Another tactic used to encourage recycling is offering cash or gift cards to those who bring recyclables to shopping centers. However, since maintaining the initiative requires a full team, it cannot be effectively executed in our country. By awarding depositors with reward points for each item that is recycled, Plastic EcoRedeemer Vending Machine hopes to encourage the practice

[2] This essay provides an overview of the many RVM varieties and their operational tenets. The authors talk about the need for plastic waste management and how RVMs could help. The report also offers a thorough evaluation of RVMs.' environmental effect and cost-benefit ratio. The authors conclude that RVMs may be an efficient tool for managing plastic waste and that they need to be used more widely. [3]The concept and development of an Arduino-based RVM for recycling plastic bottles are discussed in this article. The
