TOMRA has signed a letter of intent to become the preferred supplier of reverse vending machines (RVMs) to a leading international retail chain in the UK. The agreement covers the potential deployment of approximately 2,000 RVM installations across the retailer's network and includes sales, leasing and service offerings. Deliveries are planned to commence in 2027 and are expected to mainly comprise standalone machines, including TOMRA's B5 and S1 machines.
The UK Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales is set to launch on 1 October 2027. The objective of the scheme is to increase the collection and recycling rates of single-use beverage containers and reduce litter, while improving material quality returned into the recycling value chain. TOMRA is working actively with UK customers to prepare for the launch.
