The right RVM
for your retail format.

Every in-scope UK retailer must operate a certified DRS return point from October 2027. The right machine depends on your daily return volume, floor space, and store format.

Independent convenience & grocery

Automate DRS compliance without additional staff.

From October 2027, your store must operate a container return point. With a Reklaim Ace, every return earns you 5p automatically, without staff involvement. The machine handles collection, counting, and customer voucher issuance entirely on its own.

5p per return, credited to you
RVM operators earn a higher handling fee than manual return points. At 200 returns a day, that is over £3,600 per year, with no staff interaction required.
Fits in 1m²: no structural changes
Reklaim Ace is designed for compact retail environments. It installs in a single 1m² floor space with standard power. No building work, no planning permission.
DRS-certified and scheme-connected
Reklaim Ace is fully DRS-certified. It connects to the national scheme operator from day one, so your compliance is handled automatically.

Supermarket & large format retail

High-volume DRS processing without operational disruption.

Larger retailers face a different challenge: hundreds of consumers returning containers every hour. Reklaim Bulk handles automated baling, high-capacity storage, and bulk processing, keeping your return point clear and your staff free to serve on the shop floor.

Built for 500 returns a day
Reklaim Bulk is designed for the volumes a supermarket or retail park generates. Automated baling and large-capacity storage means collections happen on your schedule, not the machine's limits.
No staff required
From consumer drop-off to bale collection, Reklaim Bulk is fully automated. Consumer vouchers, material identification, compaction, and scheme reporting happen without any staff action.
Remote monitoring and proactive alerts
Our cloud platform monitors your machine in real time. Capacity alerts, fault detection, and collection scheduling are handled remotely. You get a notification, not a problem.

Petrol forecourt & on-the-go retail

DRS returns matched to the pace of forecourt retail.

Forecourt and travel retail customers are in and out in minutes. A slow return point loses them. Reklaim Ace's 70-containers-per-minute throughput means your return point keeps pace with your shop floor and earns you 5p on every container.

70 containers per minute
No queue forms, no consumer frustration, no drop-off in footfall. Reklaim Ace processes at speed that matches the pace of on-the-go retail.
Instant digital vouchers
Consumers get a digital voucher to use in your shop immediately. Drives spend back into your store on the same visit.
Handles PET, aluminium, glass, and Tetra Pak
