Tomra Collection, a provider of reverse vending machines, has introduced its Tomra Rollpac, the company's most compact and first vertical backroom system for the storage of drink containers returned for recycling, adding height to storage cabinets for retailers seeking space-efficient reverse vending layouts, according to a press release.

The RollPac is also the company's first backroom solution to be compatible with roller cage load carriers, the preferred logistics format for many supermarkets.

Compacted material in the roller cages can be transported via reverse logistics on trucks travelling back to regional hubs to streamline pick-ups and reduce transport emissions. In many regions with deposit return legislation for drink container recycling, retailers act as return locations for empty containers.

Tomra RollPac stands at 2.6 meters high and has a system footprint 40% smaller than similar Tomra systems. It is compatible with existing front-end reverse vending machines such as Tomra T9, T8 and the upcoming Tomra R2.
