Tove Andersen, President and CEO of TOMRA Systems ASA comments:
“The second quarter marks a new milestone for Poland’s recently launched deposit return system, which has rapidly grown into TOMRA’s second largest deposit market in Europe. 800 million drink containers have been collected through 7 000 TOMRA RVMs installed since system launch. Our leading position provides a solid foundation to continue to grow from over the next years. We congratulate Poland on the progress made towards a more circular economy.”
“Installation of RVMs in Poland peaked in the quarter, contributing to all-time high revenues for TOMRA Group which grew 25%, led by Collection where revenues grew 45%. The high number of RVM sales as a share of total revenues translates into a decline in Collection’s gross margin to 38.6%, but a 58% increase in the division’s EBITA. Recycling revenues were down 11% in a market where the overall sentiment remains subdued, but for the first time in over a year the division saw growth in the order intake which was up 40%. In Food there is continued positive sentiment, but the order intake is down 22% due to lower pipeline conversion of large projects in the quarter.”
Revenues in TOMRA Group were 405 MEUR in the quarter (2Q25: 325 MEUR), up 25%. Collection revenues grew 45% to 246 MEUR (2Q25: 169 MEUR) with 15% growth in existing markets, driven by Australia and North America, including Clynk. New markets contributed 69 MEUR, driven by the DRS rollout in Poland, Portugal, Singapore, and Romania. In Recycling, revenues fell 11% to 51 MEUR (2Q25: 57 MEUR) following the decline in orders over the last year, particularly within waste recovery in North America and plastics recycling in Europe. In Food, revenues increased 5% to 99 MEUR (2Q25: 94 MEUR) with continued deliveries from last quarter to large packhouses with a high share of third-party peripheral equipment.
