Tomra RVMs are placed across Japan’s supermarkets and other convenient places, where consumers can discard used bottles for automatic selection and separation to achieve waste reduction. RVMs are designed to build a stable bottle-recycling system both on economic and environmental fronts by making the remainder of the recycling process – transportation of recollected bottles and their reuse – more efficient.
