TOMRA, the global provider of advanced collection and sorting systems, celebrates its 50th anniversary this month.
Each of the group’s four divisions – Collection, Food, Recycling and Mining – marked the milestone by declaring a collective mission for the future to “transform how we all obtain, use and reuse the planet’s resources to enable a world without waste.”
Tom Eng, senior vice president and head of TOMRA Recycling, said: “We continue to innovate and support our customers in achieving their business goals as well as those set by legislation. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we would like to recognize our customers and partners that made our long-standing success possible.” Digital transformation is at the heart of the company’s vision for the future with TOMRA Insight, a cloud-based data analysis platform with remote service capability. It offers recyclers a state-of-the-art approach to improve sorting performance and reduce operating costs.
Tove Andersen, TOMRA’s president and chief executive officer, explained: “We live in a world that needs big transformation. We urgently need to improve sustainability, develop the circular economy, and make more efficient use of resources – challenges which TOMRA’s solutions can help address.
“Fifty years after its humble beginnings, TOMRA can be proud of the fact that it is a highly respected global market leader. This is living proof of our ability to adapt, innovate, and provide the solutions our customers really need. This is also a time to look forward because we are now opening the chapter in TOMRA’s story where we step up our role leading the resource revolution.”
Over the years, TOMRA’s technology expanded to include advanced sorting systems for the food, recycling, and mining industries. These innovative solutions optimize resource recovery and minimize waste for a more sustainable future – benefitting businesses, governments, consumers and our environment.
