TOMRA Sorting SOLVENCY
• Total revenue growth (organic plus inorganic) CAGR of ~28% per year from 2004-2019• Average annual organic
growth for the same period was ~16%
• Technology base and segment & application knowledge expanded both through acquisitions and in-house ventures.
STRONG REVENUE GROWTH SINCE INCEPTION IN 1996

We are collecting the glass in our trash can.
We are sorting the glass in our Single Stream MRFs.
We can clean the glass and have more than 97% purity.
Why don’t we recover and reuse it?
BENEFITS & SUMMARY
8
AUTOSORT LASER
AUTOSORT LASER
10
• Independent background system • Simultaneous single-point detection • Glass vs. transparent polymer recognition • Fully flexible sensor configuration • Unique mechanical design built for highest
safety standards
Test carried out with material from a "Single Stream" Plant in the USA.
PROCESS OPTIONS
12
Feeding of MaterialFrom wherever glass is removed via trommel,
disc screen, glass breaker etc.
Size SeparationUsing a vibratory deck or trommel
Density SeparationUsing air vacuum and/or blower
Paper, bottles, cans, etc... Fines, small shredded paper
Glass pieces, ceramic, stones, etc
Shredded paper, plastic, etc.
+2’’ (±50mm) ¼-⅛ ’’ minus (±6.35-3.17mm)
LightsHeavies
Option A: Glass Sample after Glass Breaker
Option B: Glass Sample after Size Separation
Option C: Glass Sample after Density Separation
MATERIAL PICTURES: SAMPLES ARRIVING TO GERMANY FOR TESTING
Sample A; after Glass Breaker
13
Sample B; after Size Separation
Sample C; after Density Separation
For all tests was the same sorting logic… Due to the high amount of glass in all samples all impurities were ejected positively from the single stream by using an
AUTOSORT LASER system.
OPTION A: GLASS SAMPLE AFTER GLASS BREAKER*Before sorting the sample 1 was screened at 0.25” Inches (6.3 mm) to remove fines and dust from the input.
14
OPTION B: GLASS SAMPLE AFTER SIZE SEPARATION
15
OPTION C: GLASS SAMPLE AFTER DENSITY SEPARATION

CONCLUSION
AUTOSORT LASER 1200 (4-5 ton/h)
• Any plant up to 30 ton/h input (±16% Glass inside)
AUTOSORT LASER 1800 (6-7 ton/h)
• Any plant up to 50 ton/h input (±16% Glass inside)
17
As expected, results are very positives based on
AUTOSORT LASER system.
Sample A Sample B Sample CPurity Glass 99.54% 99.18% 99.40%
Recovery Glass 87.00% 91.50% 90.10%
Recovery CSP 94.40% 95.40% 98.60%
Recovery all impurities 98.00% 82.70% 92.90%
TOMRA Guarantee figures:• GLASS Purity: >96-97%• GLASS Recovery: >85%
*After TOMRA validation
More than 80% Glass
