The MyGreens™ Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) is an innovative, tech-driven solution aimed at addressing the environmental and regulatory challenges of Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) disposal in Malaysia. Developed by UNITEN R&D Sdn. Bhd. in collaboration with Elagrens Sdn. Bhd., the system integrates blockchain and IoT technologies to create a transparent, traceable, and efficient WCO collection process, from source to recycling into biodiesel. Key features of the RVM include blockchain-powered traceability, IoT-enabled monitoring, a user-friendly interface, automation for minimal human error, and compatibility with WCO from various sources. The machine accommodates multiple user roles—depositors, maintenance/admin teams, and certified collectors—ensuring smooth operations and secure handling of waste. The benefits of MyGreens™ RVM are multi-fold. For the environment, it prevents illegal dumping and supports sustainable practices by enabling WCO conversion into renewable energy. For the government and corporations, it supports ESG commitments and compliance with the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC). For users, it offers incentives through digital platforms, encouraging responsible disposal behaviors. The primary target audience includes food businesses such as restaurants and hawker centers, local councils, waste management companies, biodiesel manufacturers, and environmentally conscious households. By fostering collaboration across these groups, MyGreens™ RVM represents a scalable, future-ready solution that contributes to a cleaner environment and a circular economy.
Ensures secure, tamper-proof tracking of WCO from the point of disposal to its final conversion into biodiesel. This allows users and regulators to verify sustainable practices with confidence.
Reduces the need for manual handling, minimizing human error and contamination risks while improving overall efficiency and reliability in waste collection.
Supports three distinct user roles—Depositor, Maintenance/Admin, and Certified Collector—each with tailored access and functions, ensuring smooth, role-specific operations.
Integrates IoT sensors to monitor WCO levels, machine status, and system performance in real time, enabling predictive maintenance and efficient collection scheduling.
Encourages responsible behavior by rewarding users with points or credits redeemable via apps like Setel, turning waste disposal into a rewarding habit.
Aligns with ESG requirements and ISCC standards, offering organizations a practical way to meet sustainability goals and certification benchmarks.
