In Kyiv, Troeshchyna, Metro supermarket installed the world's first fandom for accepting Yapomogabox plastic bottles made of recycled plastic.
The machine was made from 19,428 caps, wrote Rufat Raimov, the founder and head of the Yapomoga public organization, on Facebook.
"I am very glad that we have learned to give a second life to recycled materials! It was a very long and difficult road. This is just the beginning," said Raimov.
He also announced a line of useful products made from recycled plastic.
