As well as our commitment to innovation in our own operations, BWG Foods believes in supporting our retailers in their environmental journey through continued investment and resources dedicated to sustainable retail development. That's why we are so very proud that EUROSPAR Hartstown has taken a bold step forward in its sustainability journey with the unveiling of Ireland’s first Envipco QUANTUM reverse vending machine. This state-of-the-art technology is designed to transform the recycling experience for the local community, offering a fast, hygienic, and user-friendly way to return beverage containers. The QUANTUM machine, designed for high-volume environments such as supermarkets and recycling centres, can process up to 120 containers per minute through a continuous bulk-feed system. With industrial-sized collection bins and advanced compaction technology, it is the first of its kind in operation in Ireland and delivers unmatched efficiency and convenience. “This is an exciting development not just for EUROSPAR Hartstown, but for the entire Hartstown and Dublin 15 community,” said Chris Furey, Chief Executive, Furey Smyth EUROSPAR Group. “We’re proud to be the first in Ireland to introduce this innovative solution, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and our role as a responsible community retailer.” The QUANTUM machine is a key part of EUROSPAR Hartstown’s broader commitment to the circular economy, helping to reduce waste and promote responsible recycling habits. Its touchless operation and high-capacity storage make it ideal for busy shoppers looking for a quick and seamless recycling experience. EUROSPAR Hartstown’s sustainability credentials also include energy efficient lighting across the supermarket, along with a comprehensive infrastructure optimisation initiative aimed at identifying energy efficiency opportunities across all aspects or retailing, including heating limiters, timed lighting, and regular technology maintenance. Solar panel installations and an expansive refrigeration infrastructure are also in place to reduce energy consumption and its carbon footprint. Dermot Mulligan, Chief Marketing Officer at Re-turn, said: “It’s great to see retailers like EUROSPAR Hartstown embracing new technology to make recycling easier for their customers. The QUANTUM machine is another valuable addition to the Deposit Return Scheme, and with more of these machines rolling out across the country, more communities will benefit from faster, more convenient recycling.” This initiative underscores EUROSPAR Hartstown’s credentials as a community-focused retailer, dedicated to delivering meaningful environmental impact while enhancing the customer experience. #bwgfoods #eurospar #sustainability #fureysmytheurospargroup
