Tomra har ca. 60% global markedsandel innen teknologi for sortering for resirkulering og 75 - 80% global markedsandel innen teknologi for innsamling av emballasje (pantesystemer). De globale vinder blåser bare en vei: Verden ønsker og trenger bare mye, mye mer av dette fremover.

Artikkel fra Financial Times som klart og tydelig slår fast og illustrerer at verdens rike nasjoner fra nå av må utføre egen resirkulering på hjemmebane. Da må infrastruktur bygges og de nødvendige investeringer gjøres. Her er første og siste avsnitt fra artikkelen som absolutt bør leses i sin helhet.

Global recycling crisis should be a wake-up call

The sharply reduced trade in waste could boost efforts towards reuse

The editorial board 2 HOURS AGO


Producing more waste and recycled materials than could be processed at home did not previously create problems for developed countries. The excess was simply exported to poorer countries, mainly in Asia. But now, more than 18 months since China ended its decades-old status as the world’s largest importer of waste, the system is still struggling to adjust. Waste and recycling imports were initially diverted elsewhere in Asia but this provoked a widespread backlash and trade has slowed sharply. The growing inconvenience — and cost — of dealing with trash closer to home may, however, be the wake-up call the world needs to reduce the amount of rubbish generated and act more responsibly on recycling. Shipping waste around the world was never a sustainable system.

...

Only by reducing waste through reuse and investing in recycling facilities at home can any hope of a sustainable solution to the world’s broken recycling system be achieved. Sending more waste to landfill would be a tragedy. China’s crackdown on imported waste has highlighted the unsustainable nature of this trade. The world must turn this into an opportunity for change.
