We know China for over-flooding the Indian market with gadgets that are cheap. But this is a machine from China that we will surely want to be fitted in every metro station and railway stations in India.   This is an intelligent recycling machine has been installed at the Shaoyaoju Station of Beijing Subway Line 10 in the capital of China. This machine can convert waste plastic bottles into the corresponding money, 5 to 15 cents per bottle. Or the user can recharge their public transport cards, (the equivalent of metro smart cards) on the machine.   Isn’t that fantastic?  

  Piling up of plastic bottle has been identified as an environmental hazard. Research work on the subject by ecologists Chelsea M. Rochman shows that the plastic used in water bottles, or pvc, used in clear-food packaging is not as powerful at absorbing pollutants. Vinyl chloride, a component in polyvinyl chloride (PVC), has been even identified as carcinogenic, reports psmag.com.
