TOMRA COLLECTION
DID YOU KNOW?
- 1 million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute
- Less than half of all purchased plastic bottles are collected for recycling
- Approximately 42bn beverage containers are captured by TOMRA every year…
- …representing only less than 3% of all beverage containers sold in 2018
But the tides are shifting. There is a desire for change
Consumer demand for responsible plastic use options
Legislative push for new plastic waste strategies
Market pull from large brand owners and beverage companies

system for reaching the legislated return-rate target.
Reinvestment of unredeemed deposits and material revenue within the system
In Norway over 80% of the system's costs are covered by unredeemed deposits and material revenue
Profit and loss overview of Norway's Central System Administrator (2019)
Recycled content requirements complement deposit return systems
Market values for recycled material are volatile, making investment in collection/recycling risky
Lack of a stable market leads to a lack of supply for high-quality recycled material
Content requirements raise and stabilize a key funding stream for the DRS: commodity value
DRSs ensure containers consumed in a region are collected for recycling
Recycled content requirements ensure new bottles are made from recycled material
The four principles of high-performing deposit return systems
A collection target for a broad scope of beverage packaging plus a meaningful deposit delivers strong results.
The redemption system is easy, accessible and fair for everyone.
PERFORMANCE CONVENIENCE PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY SYSTEM INTEGRITY
Producers manage, finance and invest in the system with use of unredeemed deposits and commodity revenues.
Trust is built into the system's processes through transparent management, a data-driven clearinghouse, and reliable redemption technology.

- We are wasting perfectly good materials that can be reused
- Tomorrow: The Circular Economy is a driver for change
- Creating value out of waste
- That is what the Circular Economy is all about
The circular economy drives a legislative push…
Continued ambitious EU regulations and recycling targets: Attract capital and drives investments
"A common EU target for recycling 70% of packaging waste by 2030"
The Strategy also highlights the need for specific measures, possibly a legislative instrument, to reduce the impact of single-use plastics, particularly in our seas and oceans
• From Green Fence to National Sword: Short-term demand for recycling solutions in waste exporting countries
- Limits the import of contaminated recyclable commodities and increases inspections of recyclable commodity imports
- Purity level set to 99.5%
…promoting recycling
| Description | Targets and measures | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waste Framework Directive |
• Rules on how waste should be managed in the EU. It provides general principles for doing so, such as the Waste Hierarchy, Polluter Pays Principle and Extended Producer Responsibility. |
• A common EU target for recycling 60% of municipal waste by 2030 • A common EU target for recycling 70% of all packaging waste by 2030 |

| O N O C E R A L |
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive |
• Collection, recycling and recovery targets for all types of electrical goods • 10 categories: Large household appliances, Small household appliances, IT and telco equipment, Consumer equipment, Lighting equipment, Electrical and electronic tools, Toys, Leisure and sports equipment, Medical devices, Monitoring and control instruments, Automatic dispensers |
municipal waste by 2030 • Minimum requirements are established for extended producer responsibility schemes • Simplified and improved definitions |
||
| U C R CI 8 1 0 2 |
Landfill Directive |
• The objective of the Directive is to prevent or reduce as far as possible negative effects on the environment from the landfilling of waste • In particular: impact on surface water, groundwater, soil, air, and on human health by introducing stringent technical requirements for waste and landfills. |
and harmonized calculation methods for recycling rates • Concrete measures to promote re use and stimulate industrial symbiosis |
||
| End of Life Vehicle (ELV) Directive |
• Aims at reduction of waste arising from end-of-life vehicles • The scope of the directive is limited to passenger cars and light commercial vehicles |
• Economic incentives for producers to put greener products on the market and support recovery and recycling schemes |
…and a market pull
Large companies committing to use recycled raw materials = increased demand for recycled offtake
Circular Economy – Innovating through collaboration
TOMRA and Borealis, in collaboration with Zimmerman, opened a demo plant for advanced mechanical recycling with the purpose of generating material for brand owners and converters to qualify, validate and prove fit for use in their applications.
The demo plant covers the process from post consumer waste to production of recycled polymers.
PET is the main polymer type in the market for high quality recycled plastics. However, PET accounts for less than 10% of plastic packaging*. Proving other polymer types is an important enabler of plastic circularity.
"One major challenge towards more circular packaging is the availability of high-quality recycled plastics that can be used in the packaging of our brands."
Dr. Thorsten Leopold, Director International Packaging Technology Home Care Henkel
