INDIA'S FIRST IoT-BASED COMPOSTABLE CARRY BAG VENDING MACHINE
Compostable Carry Bag Vending Machine
Say no to plastic. Dispense 100% compostable carry bags at the point of need.
Overview
Plastic bags account for a measurable share of urban waste — and bans have not solved the access problem. Aeonix's IoT-based Compostable Carry Bag Vending Machine is India's first end-to-end solution for that gap: a smart, public-access machine that dispenses certified compostable carry bags on demand, by coin or UPI.
Engineered on the same proven hardware platform as our cloth bag vending range, the compostable variant carries 100% biodegradable bags certified by Compostable India. Available in 100, 200, and 500-bag configurations — sized to anything from a small grocery shop to a major railway terminal.
Every unit reports to a central dashboard in real-time: stock levels, transaction history, fault alerts, and revenue tracking. Designed for municipal deployments, eco-conscious retailers, and large public venues moving away from single-use plastic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the bags really biodegradable?
Yes. Bags supplied with the machine are certified by Compostable India and break down in industrial composting conditions.
Can I source my own bags?
Yes, provided they meet the machine's bag-size and fold specifications. We recommend Aeonix-supplied bags for guaranteed reliability.
How is this different from the Cloth Bag Vending Machine?
Hardware is similar; the carry-bag type and use-case differ. Compostable bags are single-use and lower cost per dispense; cloth bags are reusable, higher cost, and aimed at longer-term reuse.
What payment methods are supported?
UPI, Google Pay, PhonePe, BHIM, and coin payments — all denominations from ₹1 to ₹10.
Can it run outdoors?
Indoor and semi-outdoor placement is recommended. Fully outdoor variants are built on request with weatherproof enclosures.
