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.
Smaller footprint, high street or neighbourhood location. Typically under 500 returns per day. Reklaim Ace fits in a 1m² floor space and runs without any staff involvement.
Reklaim AceHigh footfall, high daily volume. Supermarkets processing 500 or more returns per day need bulk-handling capacity and automated baling. Reklaim Bulk keeps queues clear.
Reklaim BulkOn-the-go shoppers generate high container volumes with quick turnaround. Forecourts benefit from Reklaim Ace's speed: 70 containers per minute, no consumer queue.
Reklaim AceFrom 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.
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.
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.
