SMART DRS LIMITED

SMART DRS LIMITED is a technology‑driven specialist in deposit‑return schemes, delivering an AI‑powered system that modernises the way bottles and cans are returned. By embedding a unique data‑matrix code on each container’s cap or lid, the company enables non‑invasive, high‑speed scanning on existing production lines and fully automated reporting throughout the supply chain.

The core offering centres on the “Smart Collection Point”, a lean, affordable alternative to traditional reverse‑vending machines. It combines AI‑driven visual recognition with consumer‑side compaction, eliminating fraud, cutting investment and operational costs, and speeding up returns. A complementary mobile app lets users return multiple items in a single scan, while the solution supports both glass bottles and aluminium cans, as well as bulk collection for HoReCa and curb‑side services.

SMART DRS serves every link in the DRS chain—from manufacturers and retailers to operators and hospitality venues—providing savings on warehouse space, employee time and handling fees, alongside enhanced customer satisfaction and precise lifecycle tracking of each container. With over 150 DRS professionals driving innovation across nine countries, the company is poised to shape the future of sustainable packaging returns.
