The award comes hot on the heels of TOMRA RollPac’s win at the 2024 iF DESIGN AWARD, where it received recognition as an efficient solution and great user experience that seeks to understand and solve the needs of retail customers.
TOMRA RollPac is the company’s most compact backroom system for storing drink containers for recycling, and the first backroom solution to take storage vertical – adding height to cabinets for retailers seeking space-efficient solutions. TOMRA RollPac is also TOMRA’s first backroom solution designed for roller cage load carriers, the logistics format preferred by supermarkets in several European countries.
The Red Dot Design award is one of the most internationally recognized awards within product design, dating back to 1954. Among numerous submissions from companies and design studios from all over the world, the Red Dot Design Award truly is described as "one of the most sought-after marks of quality for good design".
“With more regions offering deposit return systems, it is vital to offer and continually improve our product portfolio to meet the needs of new locations. TOMRA RollPac strives in its design to meet the evolving needs of our retail customers and make their workday easier,” Anders Ertsås, Industrial Designer at TOMRA Collection.
Winning both the iF and Red Dot design awards underscores our commitment to innovation, pushing boundaries, and crafting solutions that anticipate future needs. This success is a testament to our development team’s ability to maintain our integrity towards our design intention.

The jury for this year's Red Dot Design Award explained their reasons for recognizing TOMRA RollPac: "The TOMRA RollPac storage system impresses with well thought-out functionality and an efficient design that fulfils the need for more compact systems."
TOMRA previously won the Red Dot Design Award in 2012, for its TOMRA MultiPac reverse vending backroom solution.
