Shelton, CT – Aug 3, 2009 –
Tomra Pacific Inc., a unit of Tomra of North America, a leading provider
of advanced recycling solutions, today announced that this week, it will
open its first
rePLANET recycling center in Tustin, Calif., on the grounds of the
Albertson’s supermarket at 13270 Newport Ave. The rePLANET kiosk will help
consumers in the city – a highly underserved market for recycling – to
gain clean, user-friendly access to beverage container recycling and
California Redemption Value (CRV) cash.
The rePLANET center, a colorful kiosk
that will sit in the supermarket’s parking lot, will house four bulk
reverse vending machines (RVMs) that consumers can use to deposit their
used glass, plastic and metal beverage containers. In return, consumers
will receive vouchers to bring inside the Albertson’s store to redeem
their CRV bottle deposits.
"We are delighted to be working with the
city of Tustin on this much-needed community service for residents. Those
who previously only had access to curbside recycling – with no CRV cash
benefit – can now return their beverage containers to a convenient, user
friendly and safe location, and gain the accompanying financial return,"
said Adrian White, VP of Business Development at TOMRA Pacific Inc. "A
supermarket that provides recycling facilities not only improves its image
in the community, it can also leverage the increased foot traffic to gain
incremental sales and increase customer loyalty."
RVMs automate the process of collecting
and sorting beverage containers by material and size. TOMRA's patented
recognition technology, Sure Return™, provides continuous video
surveillance of inserted items, ensuring correct deposit refunds for
consumers and accounting accuracy for the store, the best protection
against fraud.

After the Tustin center opens on Aug. 1,
Tomra Pacific will make personnel available to help the public learn how
to use the machines. Tomra Pacific currently has over
440 rePLANET centers
in California, and is responsible for recycling three billion containers
in the state, 19% of the state total.
"Tustin, a city of 70,000 people in
Orange County, previously had no CRV recycling center locations located on
grocery store parking lots for convenient access by the public. The new
rePLANET, located at Albertson’s on Newport Avenue, will feature TOMRA’s
innovative RVM technology, be a first for Tustin and make a significant
difference in the community to help raise the area’s overall recycling
rate," said White.
