Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9746985A1] An arrangement is proposed for making it feasible to donate refunded monetary values to charity, the monetary values being paid as compensation for used commodity objects returned to a reverse vending machine for the purpose of reuse thereof, or for recycling of materials recoverable therefrom. A user-machine interface is adapted to allow a user to decide that the compensation paid is to be devoted partly or completely to charity, and a report system is implemented to keep records of the monetary values collected by the machine and to produce corresponding reports for the recipients thereof.
