Instead of ending up in landfills, the company is recycling waste, passing on monetary value to consumers and helping the environment. TOMRA’s services, such as those provided through its subsidiary Orwak, can compact 85 million metric tons of waste a day. This translates into a savings of 700,000 liters of fuel per day which would otherwise be needed to dispose of these materials. Instead, that fuel is saved and the materials are put to further use through recycling. It is estimated that TOMRA’s products and operations during one year save more than ten million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. To put it into greater perspective, this is around twenty percent of the total emissions of Norway.
