In 1972, Norwegian siblings Tore and Petter Planke established TOMRA with the aim of addressing a crucial challenge faced by retailers. Their goal was to develop the inaugural fully automated reverse vending machine (RVM), which would accept empty beverage containers and offer a refund or incentive in exchange. Tore created the initial prototype of this machine in his garage after receiving a request from a supermarket owner who was grappling with the manual collection of drink containers due to Norway’s deposit legislation. Fast forward fifty years, TOMRA Collection stands at the forefront of the circular economy, amalgamating technology with sustainable impact across its Collection, Recycling, and Food sectors to spearhead the resource revolution.

At TOMRA, transformation is at the heart of everything we do. We transform ideas and technology to create intelligent and pioneering tools. Through collaboration and partnership we turn complex challenges into valuable solutions, and transform companies into more profitable, sustainable businesses.
The mission of the TOMRA Group with Collection, Recycling and Food divisions is to transform how we all obtain, use and reuse the planet’s resources to enable a world without waste.
TOMRA Recycling has pioneered the use of sensor-based technology for automating the recovery and recycling of valuable resources. The flexible sorting systems perform an extensive range of sorting tasks and can sort various types of materials and minerals with the purpose of preparation for recycling, material upgrading, as well as sustainable sorting of ores, gemstones and minerals.
Sensor-based sorting technology is critical to reducing the dependency on primary raw materials and mitigating the environmental impact caused by landfills and incineration. To date, more than 9,000 systems have been installed in 100 countries worldwide.
TOMRA Food designs and manufactures sensor-based sorting machines and integrated post-harvest solutions transforming global food production to maximize food safety and minimize food loss, by making sure Every Resource Counts™.
The company has more than 13,800 units installed at food growers, packers and processors around the world for both the fresh produce sector (such as fruits and berries), and processed food (such as nuts, potatoes and vegetables). These solutions include advanced grading, sorting, peeling and analytical technology to help businesses improve returns, gain operational efficiencies, and ensure a safe food supply.
With approximately 85,000 installations in over 60 markets, TOMRA reverse vending machines capture more than 46 billion empty cans and bottles every year. By providing an effective and efficient way of collecting, sorting and processing these containers, TOMRA’s reverse vending systems make it easy for the industry, system owners, retailers and consumers to recycle and contribute to a more sustainable planet.
TOMRA Collection is present in Bosnia and Herzegovina by the authorized distributer GreenStyle Solutions d.o.o. since 2023.
As a candidate country for EU membership, Bosnia and Herzegovina is expected to align its legislation and regulations with EU standards, including those related to environmental protection and waste management. Experts say this will be difficult to impossible to achieve without a Deposit Return System in place, and these programs are on the rise. In the past three years alone, 22 states or countries have committed to updating or developing existing deposit systems. The EU has set ambitious recycling targets and encourages member states and candidate countries among which is Bosnia and Herzegovina to implement effective recycling systems.
TOMRA Collection in Bosnia and Herzegovina is dedicated to collaboration and knowledge sharing with country’s legislation stakeholders from public and private sector committed to circular economy.
