TOMRA DRS white paper

As policymakers around the world are confronted with increasing calls from the public to address plastic pollution, rising recycling costs, and adoption of a “circular economy", they are revisiting one of the most successful recycling policies: deposit return systems for beverage containers.

TOMRA has over 45 years of experience in deposit return systems for empty bottles and cans, and its operations span every major container deposit market in the world. This provides a unique perspective on what can be learned from the past – and what the future may look like. 

In "Rewarding Recycling: Learnings from the world's highest-performing container deposit return systems", TOMRA discusses:

  • What effective deposit return systems deliver
  • The four key principles and twelve elements high-performing deposit return systems share
  • Dozens of case studies on real-world implementation of deposit return policy
