How Reverse Vending Machines + Bitcoin Are Fixing Recycling | Ayvan Krishan (rebottle.app) EB09

Listen Later

Ayvan Krishan is fixing broken recycling incentives with Bitcoin Lightning. As founder of rebottle.app, he's building a network of reverse vending machines (RVMs) that pay instant Bitcoin rewards for every bottle and can recycled—no bank account required. Keith and Ayvan dive into the world of recycling, RVMs and how Bitcoin fits into the picture and can supercharge the recycling model. They also stray a little away from Bitcoin and discuss recycling and the why and how behind bottle and can recycling.

What You'll Learn:

  • How reverse vending machine unit economics actually work
  • Why recycling rates plummet without instant financial incentives
  • Recycling rules and regulations
  • How Bitcoin Lightning and taproot assets fit into the reverse vending machine model
