Mechanical Engineer

TOMRA was founded in 1972, based on the design, manufacturing and sale of reverse vending machines (RVMs) for automated collection of used beverage containers. Today TOMRA provides solutions that enable the circular economy with advanced collection and sorting systems, and food processing by employing sensor-based sorting and grading technology.  

TOMRA Collection is a leading innovator in the circular economy and Clean Loop Recycling. Founded on the invention of the world's first reverse vending machine, we now collect over 50 billion drink containers for recycling each year through 85,000 installations across 60 markets. The 50 billion collected containers represent only 3% of global beverage packaging sold which provides a significant opportunity for TOMRA Collection to continue its growth and further contribute to a more sustainable planet.
