TOMRA

We’re setting the standards of circularity 👇 By 2030, our goal is for at least 90% of the materials in every new TOMRA machine to be sustainable. Plus, we’re working to ensure at least 50% of our products can re-enter the circular economy at the end of their life cycle. Our ultimate vision? A fully circular TOMRA. ♻️ 💡 Through innovative design and smarter product life cycles, we’re reducing environmental impact at every step. How are we making this happen? Our #Retility project is a big part of it. With this initiative, we're recycling black plastic components from retired machines, creating a scalable solution that benefits TOMRA and the wider industry.    🔗 Learn more about it here: https://lnkd.in/dCiiKkCd #SustainableProductDesign #TOMRA #CircularEconomy

💡 How can reusable packaging help cut down waste, day by day? It was the big question at our event, "X KG a Day: Unlocking the Potential of Reusable Packaging," during Oslo Innovation Week 2024 - an annual event that brings together innovators, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and policymakers from around the world to address global challenges. From inspiring presentations to a lively panel discussion, attendees got an inside look at how cities and businesses can adopt reuse systems that drive the circular economy forward. 🚀 Special shoutout to our event partner, ÆRA Strategic Innovation, and to Palett for the fantastic food and drinks that kept the conversations fueled! 🍽️ Missed the event?

California just made a bold move that could set a global example. Here's why it matters. 👇 Regulations play an essential role in transforming linear supply chains into circular ones, especially in textiles. For over 200 years, we've focused on optimizing textiles for cost and efficiency, but now the shift toward circularity is picking up speed. 🚀 The European Union is already leading the way with the targeted revision of the Waste Framework Directive and the Ecodesign Regulation, and now #California is stepping up too. Senator Josh Newman has been sponsoring bill SB 707, the Responsible Textiles Recovery Act of 2024, which was just signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom. This law shifts the responsibility for textile waste management from consumers and taxpayers to the producers, applying the "polluter pays" principle. The bill promotes reuse and repair, sets up easy drop-off systems, and calls for investments in infrastructure to handle California’s large volume of used textiles and waste. Earlier this year, TOMRA’s #Textiles team was in California to support these efforts and showcase how our circular technology can help build more sustainable value chains. We were excited to collaborate with groups like @Los Angeles Department of Sanitation, California Product Stewardship Council, Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI), and Homeboy Threads. Now, it’s up to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to set clear, ambitious and progressive targets for both reuse, recycling and recycled content.

Ready for a future where reuse takes the lead? 🌍 TOMRA’s second recommendation for the UN’s global plastics treaty: promote reuse models. Shifting to reusable packaging isn’t just about cutting down on single-use plastic. It reduces litter, waste generation, material consumption, and lowers GHG emissions. 💡 Cities like #Aarhus 🇩🇰 and #Berlin 🇩🇪 are already setting the standard. With the backing of public authorities, they’re showing that reuse isn’t just a sustainable solution, it’s also a smart, cost-effective choice for businesses and communities. Under the #PPWR, takeaways are required to implement reuse systems, with a target of at least 10% by 2030. Aarhus and Berlin are already ahead, but there’s potential to scale even further with stronger policy support. 🚨 Zero Waste Europe’s recent report is calling for bold government action to make reuse the norm everywhere - download it right here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eb5gHwE2 And if you want to read more about our 10 recommendations, you can find them here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dsxPnh5c #CircularEconomy #Reuse #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #PlasticPollution #TOMRA

How do yesterday’s plastic products become tomorrow’s essentials? 👇 It all starts with plastic pellets. 🔵 These tiny granules are made from recycled plastic waste and serve as the raw material for creating new items. From food packaging, furniture and textiles, to electronics and car parts, plastic pellets are reshaped into everyday essentials, reducing the need for virgin plastic and keeping valuable resources in the loop. In a circular economy, plastic isn’t waste, it’s opportunity. And it all begins with these small, powerful pellets. 💡 Interested in learning more about solutions that enable the recovery and recycling of valuable resources for a circular economy? 👉 https://lnkd.in/dMmE8Rqd #CircularEconomy #PlasticRecycling #PlasticPellets #BacktoBasics

How can we tackle the biggest environmental challenges of our time? At TOMRA, we believe it starts with meaningful dialogue and action, something we are proud to be a part of during #ClimateWeekNYC. 🗽 Our CEO, Tove Andersen, and Charles Riegle, SVP Public Affairs & DRS Compliance at TOMRA, joined global leaders to share our vision for a circular economy. From discussing what the global plastics treaty should prioritize to prevent plastic pollution, to showing how harmonized regulations in fashion could transform the industry’s environmental impact, TOMRA is committed to driving real change. We also explored how a Global Circularity Protocol for businesses can create transparency and help prevent greenwashing, empowering companies to make a real difference. Thank you to inspiring leaders like Benjamin Dousa, Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade of Sweden, Tore O. Sandvik, Minister of Climate and Environment for Norway, Sheena Butler-Young from The Business of Fashion, Noella Coursaris Musunka, founder and CEO of Malaika, to Ellen MacArthur from Ellen MacArthur Foundation, for the insightful conversations Let’s continue pushing forward to create a more sustainable, circular future. Together. ♻

Cleanups are important, but they’re just the start. Real change begins with stopping the problem at its source. 👇 Throughout Clean Up Month, TOMRA teams have been getting together to clean up our communities and raise awareness about the growing plastic pollution crisis. But, while these efforts are important, they’re only scratching the surface of a much bigger problem. 🌍 The real solution lies in preventing waste before it ever reaches our environment. That means reducing single-use plastics and pushing for stronger waste management systems that keep materials in use for longer. As the UN's global plastics treaty aims to address this crisis, TOMRA has developed 10 recommendations to advance circularity.
