“We are pleased to see more and more consumers returning beverage containers, showing that Romanians understand the benefits of collecting and recycling, significantly contributing to a cleaner environment. Each container returned in the DRS means one less container in our forests, rivers, and streets. We are thanking to all our partners for their trust and for choosing TOMRA solutions for their return points,” said Dorin Mihai, General Manager of TOMRA Collection Romania.
