The TOMRA T90 reverse vending machine (RVM) has been successfully  introduced at the Annabella Retail Park store in Râmnicu Vâlcea, Romania. With high customer footfall and increasing return volumes, Annabella needed a reliable, high-capacity solution—and TOMRA T90 delivered.

Across our network, we collect around 2 million containers every month. For this location, we needed a machine that could handle high volumes and fit into a designated space.

Meeting the need for efficiency

Manual container collection posed a growing challenge as volumes increased. The decision to install an automated TOMRA RVM has significantly improved operational efficiency and store capacity.

“Manual collection is very difficult. That’s why we decided to install TOMRA reverse vending machines,” adds Șoacăte.

The installation was supported by TOMRA Collection Romania’s dedicated technical team, ensuring fast setup and seamless integration. TOMRA offers nationwide service coverage, a key benefit emphasized by Laurențiu Croitoru, National Sales Manager at TOMRA Collection Romania.

Positive environmental impact 

With Romania’s deposit return system now in effect, consumer behavior is shifting. More people are returning containers instead of discarding them, contributing to a cleaner environment.

“The system is already having a visible impact—fewer containers are being thrown away, and people are more responsible,” says Șoacăte.
