Advanced collection and sorting technologies that drive the circular economy, reverse vending machines (RVMs) that automate beverage-container collection (capturing 45 billion units a year across more than 60 markets) and sensor-based sorting systems for waste, metal, and food processing, are the field Tomra Systems ASA leads as a global leader. Founded in 1972, it has more than 82,000 RVMs, 10,000 food sorters, and 6,000 recycling systems installed worldwide, holding significant market shares (75% in RVMs, 40-65% in sorting), and it promotes sustainability through innovations such as the Rotake system for reusable packaging and digital waste management via its c-trace acquisition, collaborating with global partners to reduce waste and support initiatives such as the UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution.
