The REDWAVE and TOMRA have announced a strategic agreement aimed at providing customers with a seamless supply of sorting systems based on XRF (x-ray fluorescence) and XRT (x-ray transmission) technology.

Effective from November 1st, 2024, REDWAVE and TOMRA Recycling offer each other’s complementary metal sorting technologies directly to their respective customers. By facilitating access to the combined technologies in one go, both REDWAVE, a Competence Center of BT-Systems, and TOMRA Recycling aim to address the growing demand for sustainable and efficient Zorba sorting processes, enhancing scrap metal recovery and delivering the highest quality of end fractions. Customers can now source both technologies from one supplier, however REDWAVE and TOMRA will continue to operate fully independently, focusing on their individual technology expertise and directly assisting customers with after-sales service on the respective equipment.

“Both TOMRA Recycling and REDWAVE – the Competence Center for Recycling & Sorting Solutions of BT-Systems GmbH – share the vision for a circular economy and net-zero emissions. While both companies remain independent and focused on their individual strengths, together we make it easier for our customers to efficiently upgrade scrap metal, achieve the highest quality standards and promote sustainability and efficiency,” says Gerald Kreiner, CEO of BT-Systems GmbH.

Tom Jansen, Segment Director Metal, Sales at TOMRA Recycling, added, “We are thrilled to offer our customers a complete solution by working with another global industry leader in metal sorting. Our complementary technologies offer customers the advantage of one turnkey solution for their needs.”
