Proven technologies for DRS operators

Safe and efficient beverage packaging return: Benefit from our expertise in working with deposit return scheme operators.


In order to establish a deposit return scheme (DRS) that can be operated effectively in the long term, the interests of all stakeholders involved must be taken into account. insensiv supports national and international deposit return system operators in the specification, implementation, and ongoing development of their DRS regulations. As an experienced technology partner, we develop customized solutions to ensure a tamper-proof and reliable return system for beverage packaging.

A fitting security system
for your DRS


For more than 20 years we have been dealing with the technical framework conditions for deposit return schemes. During this time we have for example consulted the DRS operators in Denmark and Germany on the specification of the security system in these markets. This is beacause deposit values on beverage packaging are making it necessary to take steps to prevent tampering.

As experts in image processing and intelligent camera systems, this remains our key area of expertise until today. On the one hand, we advise DRS operators who are working on introducing or further developing their systems. On the other hand, we offer reverse vending technology as OEM components for reverse vending machines that are designed to analyze security features such as deposit logos or security signets.

Packaging markings for efficient return processes


To ensure that beverage packaging subject to a deposit can be identified as such, it must be clearly marked. This is typically achieved through a barcode and a deposit logo or security signet. In order for customers to be able to return their packaging easily and conveniently, it must be recognizable by the RVM. This helps DRS operators achieve high return rates.

As a leading supplier of RVM recognition technology, insensiv also offers quality assurance units for checking the print quality of barcodes and deposit logos. This ensures subsequent recognition at the RVM. Our quality assurance units have been used in the German deposit system for many years and are utilized by all packaging manufacturers and label printers. Take the next step in improving your DRS by ensuring high printing qualities.

Packaging is usually marked with barcodes and deposit logos in deposit return schemes. The print quality must be high enough for these markings to be recognized by the reverse vending machine.
