Japanese Enterprise Team Visits TOMROBOTS to Explore Cooperation on Intelligent Recycling Equipment

On March 13, a delegation led by Mr. NISHIHARA, head of procurement at a renowned Japanese enterprise management company, paid a special visit to TOMROBOTS’ headquarters in Guangzhou. The focus of this visit was to gain an in-depth understanding of the production and R&D of two core products: the reverse vending machine and the solar power compactor bin, with the aim of advancing cooperation on environmental upgrading projects in Japan’s Kanto region.
Focus on Core Products: Reverse Vending Machine and Solar Power Compactor Bin
During the visit, the Japanese delegation toured the production line and technology center of TOMROBOTS, with particular attention to the reverse vending machine and solar power compactor bin. The on-site demonstration highlighted the unique advantages of both products:
The reverse vending machine showcased its high-precision sorting capability, thanks to AI visual recognition and weight sensing dual verification technology, which can accurately identify and classify PET bottles, metal cans, and glass containers. Its multilingual interface, including Japanese, and compatibility with local electronic payment platforms (such as PayPay and LINE Pay) were also key highlights, ensuring seamless user experience in Japan.
The solar power compactor bin demonstrated its excellent performance in energy efficiency and durability. Equipped with high-efficiency photovoltaic panels and energy storage batteries, the solar power compactor bin can operate continuously for 120 hours even on rainy days. Its 5:1 compression density ratio significantly reduces the frequency of waste collection, making it ideal for high-density urban areas in Japan.
Mr. NISHIHARA emphasized that for the Japanese market, the local adaptation of products is crucial. He inquired in detail about the reverse vending machine’s seismic design, the solar power compactor bin’s low-temperature operation data, and how both products comply with Japan’s strict waste sorting regulations through customized software—all of which were satisfactorily addressed by the TOMROBOTS team.
The Japanese Enterprise: A Key Player in Japan’s Environmental Protection Sector
Headquartered in Tokyo, this enterprise is a leader in smart city services, specializing in sustainable resource management solutions for governments and enterprises. Its projects include the environmental facility planning of Osaka Expo Park and the deployment of intelligent recycling stations in Nagoya subway stations, covering waste disposal system design and intelligent transformation of public spaces.
Against the backdrop of Japan’s policy goal to achieve a 100% recycling rate for plastic bottles by 2030, the enterprise is actively seeking high-quality intelligent recycling equipment. After evaluating global suppliers, they believe that TOMROBOTS’ reverse vending machine and solar power compactor bin stand out due to their high sorting accuracy (over 98%), modular design for easy transportation and installation, and IoT-based cloud data management system—all of which perfectly meet their project needs.
TOMROBOTS’ Localized Advantages for the Japanese Market
In addition to the excellent performance of the reverse vending machine and solar power compactor bin themselves, TOMROBOTS’ localized services have also won recognition. The company provides Japanese-language operation manuals for both the reverse vending machine and solar power compactor bin, and has established a technical service station in Tokyo to ensure rapid response to after-sales needs. Moreover, they offer professional compliance certification services in line with Japan’s Home Appliance Recycling Law, removing potential obstacles for product entry into the Japanese market.
Mr. NISHIHARA expressed his optimism about the cooperation, stating, “The reverse vending machine and solar power compactor bin from TOMROBOTS, along with their comprehensive localized support, have exceeded our expectations. We look forward to using these products to create benchmark environmental projects in Japan’s commercial complexes and communities.”
This visit has laid a solid foundation for the cooperation between TOMROBOTS and the Japanese enterprise, marking an important step for the reverse vending machine and  to enter the Japanese market. As both parties move towards in-depth collaboration, these intelligent recycling solutions are expected to make a significant contribution to Japan’s circular economy and environmental protection cause.
