TOMRA Collection

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.

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.
