Plastic Feedstock

TOMRA Feedstock utilizes our sorting technology to create new value chains for recovering the plastic waste that is typically incinerated or landfilled today. Through our purpose-built sorting plants, we turn this material into high quality plastic feedstock for closed-loop recycling.

About TOMRA Feedstock

At TOMRA Feedstock we are on a mission to capture the massive amounts of plastic waste currently not being recycled by developing sorting facilities specifically designed for this purpose. At the heart of this challenge is the need for sorting mixed-waste plastics into feedstock fractions that can be further recycled and used to develop new plastic products.

Our feedstock plants

TOMRA Feedstock is currently constructing two plants for sorting plastics at scale, one in Germany (operational in 2026) and one in Norway (operational in 2025).

Advanced mechanical recycling

Advanced mechanical recycling (AMR) has been upgraded to enable the transformation of post-consumer plastic from different material streams (including mixed waste) into high-quality, ready-for-market recycled plastic content. This is the sorting technology utilized at our facilities.

Let's fix the mix

If we collect and sort mixed waste materials before they are burned or tossed into landfills, we can avoid up to 730 million tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2030. Mixed waste sorting (MWS) is a solution to the plastic pollution problem that we can implement now.
