Tomra

Tomra, a Norwegian company, is regarded as the leading provider of reverse vending machines and operates the most widespread technology in deposit systems across multiple countries. Beyond reverse logistics, the group operates business units for sorting technology in recycling and food processing.

For retailers, recognition is less critical for these devices than compaction and system integration: how much volume fits in the container between collections, and how seamlessly the deposit receipt feeds into the point-of-sale system. Both factors determine staffing requirements at the return station.
