Lisbon is rolling out its city-wide reusable cup system – powered by TOMRA’s automated return machines and Mastercard payment technology – in hopes of avoiding ‘millions’ of single-use cups annually and tackling urban litter.
Lisbon today launched its new city-wide reusable cup system, “CopoMais Lisboa”.
In Saint-Étienne, France, Trimetal has established itself as a visionary player in metal recycling. With the installation of Tomra’s -new Finder Color, the company has become one of the first to test this next-generation color sorting technology under real-world conditions. The result: record purity for stainless steel, elimination of manual sorting, and flexibility to process other materials such as copper, brass, and electronic boards.
TOMRA Mining says its sensor-based sorting technologies are redefining how minerals are recovered, transforming once-discarded material into a valuable resource, extending mine life and strengthening supply security for the energy transition.
Norway’s new national facility for sorting all types of plastic packaging scrap, including plastic that otherwise would be incinerated, officially opened its doors Nov. 5.
AB Plasta, part of the CEDO Group and one of Central Europe’s leading film recyclers, has successfully implemented an advanced flexible film recycling line in collaboration with TOMRA Recycling. By adapting the input material to the specific requirements of the sorting line and integrating AUTOSORTTM SPEEDAIR and TOMRA Insight, the plant is achieving high purity recyclates and operational efficiency, supporting full circularity and compliance with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations (PPWR).
On a high-speed sorting line, each kiwifruit is photographed 240 times from all angles to detect surface defects, while near-infrared scanners assess its internal sweetness, firmness, and dry matter. This facility in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province exemplifies the country’s push to modernize its kiwifruit industry.
