TOMRA: leading the circular revolution in plastics

Description

TOMRA's Circular Economy Division was established in January 2019 to speed up the transformation to a circular economy and shape future waste and resource systems. TOMRA believes that the circular future has great opportunities for many industries and society and that collaboration, knowledge sharing and new partnerships are vital for circularity.

TOMRA is a leader in the field of collection and sorting technology, and as such is the only company that can offer a holistic solution for waste management. It aims to become an essential strategic partner by working with key business players across the entire plastics recycling value chain. It seeks to develop new methods, processes, technologies and business models and to close the loop for consumer-oriented reusable and recyclable packaging. By contributing to research and information exchange on fundamental circular economy topics and key material streams, the company aims to lead the way in building a circular future.
