Edra Equipamentos, Brazil is developing an environmentally friendly ATM machine with a chassis made of recycled plastic PET bottles.

The ceiling of this ATM chamber is equipped with solar cells to power the machine.

At night, the ATM chamber is illuminated by LEDs with electricity generated from the day. The casing is a 3M film, so it blocks 80% of the infrared emitted to keep the chamber cool.

It cost $ 300,000 a year to have Edra Equipamentos successfully designed this environmentally friendly ATM. The cost of a machine will be 20% more expensive than conventional ATMs but the operation will quickly recover the investment because it does not use the grid system.

According to Gizmag magazine, Edra Equipamentos is negotiating with many financial institutions to operate ATMs on a large scale.
