For fats and oils manufacturers, packaging is more than a transport solution – it directly impacts cost, efficiency, product quality, and sustainability. Traditionally, rigid containers like Schutz IBCs have been the go-to, but as operational pressures increase, it’s the manufacturers across the fats and oils industry are evaluating whether they still serve the needs of modern supply chains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reusable, foldable packaging such as Tosca’s bulk containers offers a practical and cost-effective alternative. At Tosca, we work with some of the largest food manufacturers in Europe, helping them improve efficiency while meeting strict hygiene and sustainability standards. Here\u2019s how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduce Transport Costs and Space Constraints<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rigid containers take up significant space, particularly on return journeys. A standard truck can carry only around 26 rigid units. By contrast, foldable IBCs such as Tosca’s Superior Hybrid<\/a>, can fit up to 182 units on a single truck when returned empty. This dramatically reduces return transport costs and cuts down on emissions – an important consideration as sustainability reporting becomes more rigorous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Capital Expenditure or Asset Management<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For companies used to purchasing and managing their own container fleets, switching to a reusable packaging and pooling model can unlock immediate operational benefits. There is no capital investment, no maintenance responsibility, and no need to manage washing, repairs or replacement cycles. Instead, packaging assets are collected, washed and delivered clean, secure and ready to use, with full traceability and quality control handled externally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better Product Recovery<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With many fats and oils being viscous or solidifying at room temperature, traditional containers can lead to significant product loss. Our reusable, plastic bulk containers<\/a> are designed with a liner and squeeze roller system that enables up to 99% product recovery. This helps reduce waste and increases product yield – key for cost efficiency and sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure and Hygienic by Design<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Food-grade hygiene is critical, especially for edible oils and fats. Some manufacturers currently invest heavily in washing their own containers to ensure compliance. By switching to a fully managed reusable packaging and pooling system, this overhead is eliminated. Each unit is professionally cleaned and maintained to food safety standards, reducing the risk of contamination or customer complaints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To further support product integrity during transport and storage, our containers are equipped with a tamper-evident device<\/strong>, giving manufacturers added peace of mind that the contents remain secure from filling to delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n

Supporting Sustainability and Compliance<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations tighten across Europe, single-use and hard-to-recycle packaging is under increasing scrutiny. Foldable, reusable IBCs eliminate the need for disposal and are part of a circular pooling model that helps reduce waste and carbon impact, while ensuring a consistent supply of fit-for-purpose containers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In parallel, the proposed Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)<\/strong> is introducing ambitious targets for reuse. For certain packaging types, including transport, sales and grouped packaging, 40% must be reused by 2030<\/strong>, rising to 70% by 2040<\/strong> through a managed return system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These regulations signal a significant shift away from single-use packaging. Manufacturers that adopt reusable solutions now will not only improve operational efficiency and sustainability but also be better positioned for long-term compliance and competitive advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traceability<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In fats and oils supply chains, visibility is critical to protect product integrity and maintain strict quality standards. With Tosca\u2019s reusable bulk containers, every asset can uniquely identified and tracked throughout its lifecycle – from filling to return and sanitisation – helping manufacturers stay in control of assets and hygiene compliance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Tosca Asset IQ<\/a>, we can create the best traceability solution for you \u2013 whether that\u2019s passive RFID or active smart tracking for  real-time monitoring, giving you the data you need to trace movements, support audits, and optimise planning. This ensures accountability across every stage of handling, reducing risk and safeguarding product quality <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To wrap up<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By rethinking packaging, fats and oils producers can unlock efficiency, protect product quality and future-proof their supply chains –  and with Tosca, they have a partner ready to support them every step of the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
