MACHINEX DEPOSIT HONORED AT THE 2025 ENVIROLYS GALA

Plessisville, November 6, 2025 – Machinex Deposit, a division of Machinex, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the International Outreach Award prize at the 2025 Envirolys Gala, held on November 3. Organized by the Quebec Business Council on the Environment (CETEQ), this gala celebrates the contribution of private companies to Quebec’s green economy. The International Outreach Award recognizes a company that has successfully promoted Quebec’s environmental expertise abroad through services or projects.

Machinex Deposit: A Quebec Innovation on the Global Stage

This year, Machinex Deposit was recognized for its MACH CountAIner™ technology, an innovative reverse vending solution for deposit containers, deployed in Australia with client Re.Group. The MACH CountAIner™ represents a breakthrough in deposit return systems, combining speed and convenience with AI-powered recognition. It delivers accurate counting and ultra-fast refunds, processing up to 600 bulk containers per minute, without the mess. Simply empty your bag into the hopper, and the machine does the rest!

The success of the pilot project confirmed the MACH CountAIner™’s performance, reliability, and relevance in the Australian market. This achievement marks a major milestone for Machinex Deposit and paves the way for further deployments in the country. It also reflects growing confidence in Machinex’s technological solutions for modernizing recycling systems worldwide.

The Ingenuity Behind Machinex Teams

Deposit systems are evolving rapidly around the world. Whether implementing a new system or modernizing an existing one—as seen recently in Quebec—high-performance technologies are essential to ensure efficient container processing. Drawing on its expertise in material recovery facilities and sustainable solutions, Machinex has developed a complete range of equipment tailored for deposit container returns.

The MACH CountAIner™ enhances the customer experience by reducing return time, improving hygiene, and offering electronic refund options. Learn more about the MACH CountAIner™ here: machinexrecycling.com/deposit/equipment/mach-countainer/ .

“This award represents a significant milestone for Machinex, as it is the first earned by our Deposit division. Deploying our technology in Australia provided valuable insights into equipment operation and user experience for both consumers and depot operators, particularly in refining our AI system. We have similar projects underway with other deposit system operators, and the lessons learned from the pilot and deployment in Australia have helped us further improve the equipment,” said Jonathan Ménard, Vice President of Sales and Strategy at Machinex.

Behind this product are dedicated teams in research and development, design, manufacturing, installation, and after-sales service.

“Every new technology we develop reflects the ingenuity and commitment of our teams. At Machinex, we are fortunate to bring together passionate experts who constantly push boundaries to create innovative solutions for a more sustainable tomorrow,” added Mr. Ménard.
