All Return Right machines have digital transaction logs, 24-hour CCTV surveillance and fraud detection technology.
According to BCRS Ltd., it is aware of a man who was filmed scanning an eligible container bearing a 10-cent deposit mark and then depositing ineligible containers into a Return Right machine. The operator stated that deliberate manipulation of the machines and fraudulent claims are taken seriously as they undermine public trust in the recycling process.
BCRS Ltd. emphasized that the 10-cent deposit refund is intended for eligible beverage containers returned through the scheme and that they have implemented measures such as digital transaction logs, 24-hour CCTV surveillance, and fraud detection technology to safeguard the integrity of the scheme. The National Environment Agency (NEA) also expressed concern over any deliberate misuse of the Return Right machines and has reminded BCRS Ltd. to take appropriate measures to address this issue.
The NEA will work closely with BCRS Ltd. to review the system and strengthen safeguards as necessary, urging the public to use the machines responsibly in support of national recycling efforts.
