Envipco Enters German Market

Envipco Holding N.V., a Dutch company that provides recycling systems and solutions to the beverage and retail industries, has announced the first commercial order of its compactor technology in Europe.

Envipco Automaten GmbH, a subsidiary of Envipco Holding N.V, has received an order from a German retail group for 500 compactors based on its new technology. The Envipco compactor is designed to improve reliability, superior container compaction and a longer service life.

Envipco will initially act as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the component, which has been approved by DPG Deutsche Pfandsystem GmbH for use with Tomra’s T-710 and Tomra T-820 reverse vending machines (RVM).

DPG is as an organizational anchor set up by bottlers and retailers to implement Germany’s Packaging Ordinance for its deposit system. Applications are under consideration for approval in other RVM manufacturer’s machines.
Envipco says the annual German market potential for new and replacement compactors is greater than 10,000 units. Further, Envipco notes that at the present time there exists only one other major German supplier of compaction technology for the more than 35,000 RVMs in Germany and 60,000 more RVMs throughout the world.

Development of the compactor technology has been led by Envipco’s German Research and Development Group.
Envipco Holding N.V., with operations in several countries around the globe, is involved in the development and operation of RVMs, automated technological systems for the recovery of used beverage containers.
