KBTX in Bryan, Texas, reports that Texas A&M University recently announced that it was set to deploy a PepsiCo Dream Machine recycling kiosk at its business school.
The kiosk will give students and faculty a convenient and rewarding way to recycle their bottles and cans while on-the-go. The unveiling of the Dream Machine was scheduled to coincide with the school's annual Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) program, which ran from August 6-13 at the business school.
The Dream Machine recycling initiative, created by PepsiCo in partnership with Waste Management, is introducing thousands of recycling bins and kiosks at popular public locations across North America. The kiosk is a computerized receptacle that includes a personal reward system, powered by Greenopolis, which allows users to earn points for every bottle or can they recycle in the kiosk and redeem those points for local discounts on entertainment, dining and travel at www.greenopolis.com.
Additionally, the more bottles and cans people recycle in a Dream Machine kiosk at Texas A&M, and in Dream Machine bins and kiosks across the nation, the more support PepsiCo will provide to the EBV, a national program offering free experiential training in entrepreneurship and small business management to post-9/11 U.S. veterans with disabilities.
