Deposit Return Schemes (for bottle recycling) are surprisingly tech-heavy. Instead of the RVM dispensing a physical token or charging up a card, it prints a simple paper voucher and informs a central database that it has done so. An EPOS then has to contact the same database when the voucher is redeemed. An alternative system, "Digital DRS", puts unique codes on containers which are scanned by the consumer for instant credit (they must then recycle the container?) https://re-universe.com/our-projects/digital-drs/
