SINGAPORE: The operator of the Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) said in a Facebook post on Friday (Nov 13) that it was aware of videos circulating online showing alleged misuse of Return Right machines, adding that it took fraudulent claims seriously.
The videos showed an individual depositing ineligible containers into a Return Right machine after scanning an eligible container bearing the 10-cent deposit mark, BCRS Ltd said.
BCRS Ltd said it had since worked with its Return Network Operators to calibrate the machines to address the issue and would continue strengthening safeguards across the return network.
“Deliberate manipulation of the machines or fraudulent claims is taken seriously, as it undermines the trust of members of the public who are genuinely trying to recycle and return right,” it said.
As the scheme’s operator, BCRS Ltd said its priority was to ensure the system functioned “reliably and fairly for everyone”.
