Eco Factor: Solar-powered vending machine reduces energy consumption.
The SmartVND is a conceptual vending machine designed by Justin Pittman that makes use of natural cooling techniques to minimize energy use and rely more on renewable energy harvested by onboard solar panels.
The ecofriendly vending machine makes uses of sustainable materials like clay-coated straw, laminated wood joined together with water-based adhesives that regulate the temperature of products being dispensed.
