A year of resilience and long-term commitment

In her annual letter, Tove Andersen, President & CEO of TOMRA, reflects on how global challenges did not diminish the urgency of addressing resource scarcity and pollution.

Resource scarcity and pollution remain among the defining global challenges of our time. Even in a volatile environment, the ambition to increase circularity stands firm, says Andersen. With more than 50 years of experience, we know progress is not always linear. By staying focused on solving our customers’ most pressing needs, we continue to build solutions that will drive resource optimization for generations to come. Regulatory developments, including the EU’s SUPD, PPWR, and accelerating adoption of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes, solidified the foundations for new deposit return systems (DRS) and more circular material flows. One third of Europe’s population already uses DRS today, and additional markets are preparing to implement systems ahead of 2029 requirements.

Solid financial foundation despite market headwinds

TOMRA delivered stable and resilient financial performance in 2025, supported by disciplined cost management and a diversified portfolio.

For the full year 2025, TOMRA reported:

Revenues of €1.32 billion
A 2% decline in revenue compared to 2024
An EBITA margin of 13%

Eva Sagemo, CFO of TOMRA, underscores that the results reflect both resilience and disciplined execution:

Strengthening TOMRA’s organizational foundations

TOMRA continued to invest in technological leadership and operational excellence across its divisions:

TOMRA Collection surpassed 91,900 installed reverse vending machines and 53 billion containers collected, supported by innovation such as the new TOMRA S2, TOMRA B7 and the upgraded R2, and strengthened by the acquisition of CLYNK.
TOMRA Recycling faced challenging market conditions but initiated a cost-reduction program and organizational adjustments aimed at improving short to midterm profitability and strengthening readiness for market recovery.
TOMRA Food delivered strong profitability improvement, ahead of the restructuring target set in 2023, and strong order growth driven by automation and food safety requirements.
Under TOMRA Horizon, ventures in reuse, feedstock, and digital solutions progressed, including TOMRA Reuse’s scalable city and events pilots and the completion and opening of TOMRA Feedstock’s first facility, Områ.

Accelerating the transition to circularity

With less than 7% of the world’s resources remaining circular and over 30% of consumable food lost or wasted annually, TOMRA stresses the urgency for coordinated global action.

Regulatory momentum is rising, technology is advancing, and the need for resilient supply chains is clearer than ever, Andersen adds. TOMRA’s foundations remain strong, and we will continue pushing the boundaries of what’s technologically possible to ensure resources are obtained, used, and reused in the most sustainable way.
