TOMRA Collection

9,400,000 returns in 90 minutes ♻️ That’s how many bottles and cans were returned through TOMRA’s reverse vending machines, in the time it takes to play one football match.⚽

Good news, you don’t need to be a professional athlete and no stretching is required if you want to join the recycling game. Just a reverse vending machine and a simple habit.

Every bottle and can returned is a point for you, and a point for nature. 🌍

Every goal can change the game. But so can everyday habits. Because this is a game where everyone can score. And every return moves us closer to a world without waste.

Together we are building a winning team, one return at a time!

20 years of in Germany – and still setting the benchmark. 🇩🇪 https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0wcJZq0

Since its standardization in 2006, Germany’s deposit return scheme (DRS) has become the world's highest-performing system collecting single-use drink containers for recycling. Today, it delivers return rates of up to 98% for eligible beverage containers. ♻️

TOMRA has now opened its third reverse vending showroom in Poland! 🇵🇱 TOMRA Collection Poland's latest showroom in Baranowo (near Poznań) joins our existing locations in Warsaw and Dąbrowa Górniczaand.

As of last month, over 1 billion drink containers have been returned for recycling through Poland's deposit return scheme, since its launch in October. ♻️

TOMRA's showroom is a space created for retailers to see in practice how the automation of drink container returns can help stores make returns more efficient. Thank you to all those who joined the opening! 👏

🌎 On today, it is worth pausing to think about everyday items we can take for granted. A bottle may seem small, but the journey it takes after use can make a real difference: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vVp8N0.

Plastic pollution and plastic waste are growing challenges, particularly in our oceans. 🌊 Around 80% of ocean plastic comes from sources on land, highlighting how important collection and recycling systems are in determining whether bottles are lost to the environment or kept in use.

Most beverage bottles are made from PET, a highly recyclable material. When PET bottles are collected through deposit return schemes and kept clean and separate, they can be recycled into recycled PET and used to make new bottles again, supporting bottle‑to‑bottle recycling and closed loops. ♾️

By returning PET bottles to TOMRA reverse vending machines for Clean Loop Recycling, those bottles can be part of a circular journey where resources are not wasted – but reused again and again. Learn more about recycled PET (rPET) in our popular article on the topic. ☝️

This World Environment Day, we remember that everyday actions, supported by the right systems, can help keep valuable materials out of nature and in the loop.

♻️ French President Emmanuel Macron visited TOMRA's booth at the REuse Economy Expo in Paris. 🇫🇷

At the TOMRA stand, they saw how our technology supports collection and reuse systems that help packaging stay in circulation, include a demonstration of the TOMRA T100 reverse vending machine and TOMRA Reuse technology. For our teams, it was a proud moment and a welcome recognition of the work happening every day to make circular systems easier to use, easier to operate and easier to bring into daily life.

The visit came as France renewed the conversation on deposit return for plastic bottles and how the country can move closer to its 2030 targets. 🎯

Thank you to TOMRA Collection France and everyone who joined us at REuse Economy Expo. An encouraging signal for the future of collection, reuse, and circularity in France.

🇳🇴 17 May - Norway’s national day - is just around the corner. Hipp hurra!

Founded in Norway in 1972 with a single reverse vending machine, TOMRA has grown into a global business with a mission to transform how we all obtain, use and reuse the planet's resources to enable a world without waste.

With Norwegian roots, TOMRA comes from a country where the deposit return scheme is often seen as a global benchmark, with 92% of bottles and cans returned. ♻️🌍

Greetings from our Production team in Lier, assembling TOMRA machines for customers worldwide. Wishing all a festive 17 May! 🎉 🍦

Lace up, team up! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
Teamwork, collaboration, and having fun together run deep at TOMRA - and across our markets, that energy has really shown up on the start line lately.

From the Düsseldorf Marathon 🇩🇪 and Holmenkollstafetten 🇳🇴 to the UltraBalaton 🇭🇺, our colleagues are going the distance together. 💪✨

“We completed the 209 km race around Lake Balaton as a team of 13 runners in under 22 hours. It was a true team challenge - supporting and motivating each other day and night is what carried us through the toughest moments and across the finish line together.” - Zsófia Nagy, Fulfillment Team Lead.
