reusable plastic cups

Tomra is expanding its range of reverse vending machines for reusable applications.

The new system builds on the world’s first reuse system for hot and cold drink cups which piloted in Aarhus, Denmark, for the past year.

The Norway-based sorting machinery manufacturer has now unveiled a Reuse Collection Point (RCP) capable of handling food packaging like boxes and bowls.

The new reverse vending machine was unveiled at the Reuse Economy Expo in Paris.

The pilot system will begin in the French capital from the first quarter of 2026.
