TOMRA was founded on an innovation for return of empty beverage containers more than forty years ago. In a small shed in Asker, Norway, the brothers Petter and Tore Planke created a solution to a problem: a local grocer wanted a machine that could quickly and easily take back empty bottles. This was the beginning of TOMRA.
Innovation has always been at the core of TOMRA.
To us, leadership is about daring to rebel against the way we consume, waste and discard today. The world is at the dawn of a resource revolution – and we are leading it.
