AVOIDED EMISSIONS
Our climate impact
TOMRA Collection’s avoided emissions represent the greenhouse gas emissions prevented when used drink containers are collected through TOMRA’s technology and services.
Reverse vending machines and sustainability
The business landscape is changing, but we don’t see this as a bad thing. We see it as an opportunity. Our strategy is simple: Do more of what we do best, while reducing the negative impacts our operations have on the environment. After more than half a century spent working in resource productivity, striving towards a world without waste, we see that the changes required of us already align with our values. We welcome them!
reducing our footprint
Less environmental impact
Our "footprint" refers to the negative impacts of our business operations. TOMRA is a producer of equipment and machines, and we need to take responsibility for our products, not only during their production, but also during their use and at their end-of-life.

lifetime impact
Product sustainability starts with design
By conducting life cycle assessments (LCAs) of core products to benchmark environmental emissions and analyze hotspots, we are able to make decisions that target factors like material use and type, power consumption, and transportation. This means we can deliver premium, best-in-class reverse vending solutions with a lower environmental impact across their full lifetime.

Service offerings contribute to sustainability
By offering remote service for our products, we can reduce the need for in-person support visits. And when maintenance is a must, our growing fleet of electric service vehicles works to keeping service emissions to a minimum.
OUR platform for product circularity
TOMRA Retility
Retility is a word that takes the best from «recycling», «reuse» and «utility» and uses them to make something new. And that’s what it’s all about!
Taking responsibility for retired TOMRA products and waste parts created during service
Despite the huge positive impact that TOMRA reverse vending machines enable, when those machines reach their end of life, it’s our responsibility to ensure that their disposal leads to as little negative impact as possible.
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT DESIGN
Recycling waste polymers
When we throw things away, we want them to come right back so that they can be used again, just like a boomerang. In line with this thinking, Project Boomerang is the start of an exciting journey to increase the share of recycled content in TOMRA reverse vending machines (RVMs) and enable material flows to enter circular loops.
One way for us to reduce our footprint is to make our products more recyclable when they are retired and to use more recycled material in our products.
