At K 2025, TOMRA will present a broad spectrum of solutions for increased plastics circularity. TOMRA Recycling, TOMRA Feedstock and TOMRA Collection will offer insights into available and coming technology for collection, sorting and fine-sorting of plastics, and TOMRA Reuse will present their systems for reusable takeaway packaging for cities and events.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver the past 50 years, TOMRA has been a provider of solutions for increasing plastics circularity. At K 2025, the world\u2019s leading trade fair for plastics and rubbers, we have decided to present our wide range of solutions and insights together, to showcase the opportunities available for customers and partners looking to reduce, reuse and recycle plastics in a holistic manner. We welcome everyone to visit our stand to learn more,\u201d says Tove Andersen, President and CEO of TOMRA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The following will be presented at K 2025:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recycling: Driving plastics circularity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TOMRA\u2019s Recycling division will spotlight cutting-edge sorting technologies that accelerate plastic circularity. From the versatile AUTOSORT\u2122 paired with GAINnext\u2122 AI for complex material recognition, to INNOSORT\u2122 FLAKE and AUTOSORT\u2122 FLAKE for high-quality flake sorting, TOMRA empowers recyclers to meet rising quality and regulatory demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting these solutions are TOMRA Insight\u2019s cloud-based monitoring portal and PolyPerception\u2019s AI-driven material analysis, bringing transparency and efficiency to sorting operations.<\/p>\n\n\n

Katrin Fricke, TOMRA<\/strong> Recycling\u2019s new EVP and Head: \u201cAt K 2025, we\u2019ll demonstrate that sorting is no longer just about recovering and upgrading plastics – it\u2019s about achieving the highest level of material granularity while increasing transparency and digitization in sorting facilities. Our deep learning solutions, cloud-based monitoring, and smart waste analysis are key to making this possible and advancing full plastics circularity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Collection: Powering the collection of drink containers for recycling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TOMRA Collection will showcase its industry-leading reverse vending technology for collecting drink containers for recycling, which powers many of today\u2019s deposit return schemes to incentivize container returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previewing at K Show is the flagship TOMRA R1 and T9 with MultiPac Air system, featuring the TOMRA T9 reverse vending machine, multi-feed TOMRA R1 (where users pour in 100+ containers at once rather inserting them one by one), and MultiPac Air backroom storage solution. Together, they efficiently handle high volumes and different materials of drink containers, with high system speed and greater storage capacity – driving optimal convenience for the recycler and efficient handling for the operator.<\/p>\n\n\n

TOMRA is also represented by its corporate ventures TOMRA Feedstock and TOMRA Reuse, set up to explore ways the company\u2019s technology and solutions can be applied in new ways to enable circular economies and resource efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOMRA Feedstock focuses on closing the loop for plastics and will in early November be opening Omr\u00e5, Norway\u2019s national sorting facility for plastic packaging with a capacity to sort plastics recovered from mixed waste streams into ten mono-fractions suitable for high-grade recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOMRA Reuse has been piloting a system for reusable takeaway packaging on city level in Aarhus since January 2024 and will be launching a similar solution in Lisbon\u2019s historic center this year. The team is also piloting solutions for large-scale venues and events, and earlier this year launched a reuse collection point that can handle cups, boxes and bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTOMRA Horizon is our platform for focused innovation. Reuse and Feedstock are promising ventures where we see significant potential both from an environmental impact perspective, and from a commercial perspective. In parallel, we are continuously considering targeted investments to strengthen our ability to lead the resource revolution,\u201d said Lars Enge, EVP Strategy and Head of TOMRA Horizon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
