Atlanta, Georgia, September 22, 2020 – Atlanta-based Tosca, an innovator in reusable packaging and supply chain solutions, has announced a tremendous milestone: As of today, Tosca has officially diverted 1 million metric tons of corrugated cardboard from entering the perishables supply chain.

Tosca began shipping perishables in reusable plastic containers (RPCs) in 2000 and since then has made a commitment to revolutionize supply chains with more sustainable and cost-effective reusable packaging solutions.

Because soiled and wet corrugated cardboard is extremely difficult to recycle, a large amount of corrugated used for perishables ends up in landfills. For every RPC used, approximately 1.0 – 1.5 pounds of corrugated is prevented from entering the supply chain. This means a single RPC can divert hundreds of pounds of corrugated cardboard in its lifetime before being recycled and turned into a new RPC. Every pound of corrugated cardboard diverted from the supply chain is a win for sustainability.

“By working with our valued partners, some of the largest retailers across the country, we’re able to cut costs and optimize supply chains while helping companies reach their sustainability goals,” says Jon Kalin, Tosca’s Chief Commercial Officer. “Without our partners, positive environmental impacts like this would not be possible.”

From food suppliers to grocery retailers and every step in between, a Tosca RPC provides large scale environmental benefits by eliminating the immense amounts of corrugated used within the perishable industry.

Tosca’s commitment to revolutionizing supply chains does not stop at any specific amount of corrugated eliminated. The company envisions a future free of harmful one-way packaging and looks forward to helping create it.
