I saw this type of machine in a television program. This is a bottle recycling machine and it normally can be found at Europe Countries. Those countries normally place this machine at the shopping center to encourage people recycle empty bottle. In Germany , people have to pay a pfand (deposit) of about 15 cents for a 500mL bottle or 25 cents for a 1.5 litre bottle. However, they only can get back their deposit when they put the empty bottle in a bottle recycling machine. This method effectively encourage people to " go green".
This machine inspired me that our country also can make this type of machine and place it at shopping center. We can come out like paper recycling machine, tin recycling machine and etc. This type of machine not only can encourage people to recycle, it also can create the awareness about the environment issue to all the malaysian.
