Every year, TOMRA's reverse vending solutions capture more than 46 billion drink containers across the globe. That might sound like a lot, but it’s actually less than 3% of what’s sold annually! By helping you, society's recycling heroes, enjoy a faster, cleaner, and more convenient recycling experience, we hope to bring the remaining 97% into the loop.
What puts the "Clean" in Clean Loop Recycling?
With a reverse vending machine, you get to collect the valuable resources before they get mixed up with other contaminants.
When it comes to Clean Loop Recycling, Norway is leading the way!
Regarded as the world role model for beverage container recovery and recycling, Norway’s deposit return system is one of the most efficient in the world. With more than 92% of containers returned to reverse vending machines and around 6% collected through alternative channels, less than 1% of all beverage containers in Norway are littered!
