Rethink recycling with TOMRA R2

The big benefits of ​multi-feed now ​even for smaller stores

Embrace the new standard in container returns. The new TOMRA R2 wall-mount format and compact backroom minimize use of in-store space, so more stores than ever can reap the rewards of multi-feed reverse vending.

Say goodbye to sticky hands

No mess and no sticky hands – just fast, simple, and convenient. The TOMRA R2 makes recycling feel effortless. No sorting, no fuss – pour cans, plastic and glass bottles in at once - bag after bag. No batch limit. With the drop and go function, there is no need to wait. When the bag is empty, customers just press the button and go shopping. A great all-round recycling experience creates loyal customers that keep coming back.

Optimize operations with efficiency and ease

Perform tasks undisturbed and save time and effort walking back and forth, with access to cleaning, machine maintenance and troubleshooting, all from the backroom. Plus, pair your TOMRA R2 with TOMRA’s digital tools for the most convenient way to stay one step ahead of recycling management.

Designed with people in mind

TOMRA R2 was designed with inclusivity in mind. With a lower in-feed and screen, and illuminated user guidance, every aspect is crafted to accommodate users of various abilities, ensuring that your customers can participate in recycling efforts without barriers.

Think of it as a smart investment for your store!

Grab customers’ attention and increase traffic 

Experience* shows that customers are willing to go the extra mile to use a multi-feed vending machine. This ensures a great increase in drink container returns and an increase in traffic coming to the store.

A recent consumer survey* also shows that 87% of recycling consumers spend their deposit refund in the store toward their next grocery purchase, so recycling customers not only bring footfall to stores but also revenue.
