TOMRA Circular Economy Division

Supporting our vision of leading the resource revolution, in 2019 TOMRA created a new division focused specifically on the goal of empowering people and business to transform to a circular economy and close the loop for post-consumer waste.

"Our new TOMRA Circular Economy Division will help people and business to close the loop for post-consumer waste and transform a linear into a circular economy. But it requires investment from industry, government and consumers. In this spirit, TOMRA's major task is to collaborate and educate along the value chain as an impact leader that provides sustainable solutions and knowledge to end plastic waste."
--Volker Rehrmann, TOMRA Executive Vice President Circular Economy.

Since the founding of our company in 1972, TOMRA has been a pioneering force in the development of solutions that support the circular economy. And with the formation of our new Circular Economy Division, we are now committed more than ever on playing a significant role in helping to build successful circular economy frameworks worldwide.

TOMRA's Circular Economy Division was formed from key internal resources with extensive experience within our Reverse Vending and Recycling business areas, led by Volker Rehrmann. The core team currently consists of 20 full-time employees based in Europe and Asia, with additional associated resources assisting from throughout the worldwide TOMRA network.
