Switch for good: For your customers, planet, and business
Because when that juicy bite brings a smile to a child’s face, it’s not just about the moment—it’s about the care that went into it along the way. Choose packaging that ensures fresh, quality food while protecting our planet, so every choice you make is one that matters.
The transformative impact of Tosca reusables
For 60+ years, Tosca has transformed supply chains for the world’s top retailers & suppliers.
%
Labor savings
Significant in-store stocking efficiency, zero time at the baler, retail-ready solutions.
%
Larger loads
Reusable pallets are lighter than wood, letting you cube out before you weigh out.
%
Emissions reduction
Achieve reduced CO2 emissions when switching from other packaging solutions.
%
Reduced shrink
Ensure freshness through proper ventilation and protect product quality from box crush.
%
More bins per haul
Reusable bulk bins can be folded to take up less space than rigid IBCs, leading to fuller trucks and fewer trips.
Meet your future high-performance, sustainable supply chain
We transform and future-proof your supply chain for optimal efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. Corrugated boxes, bulk bins, and wooden pallets are antiquated, which shows in their performance. Modern supply chains face different challenges and require a more innovative and sustainable approach to remain competitive.
Raise your bottom line, lower your footprint
Switching to reusables isn’t just about going green; it’s a strategic move that delivers real financial benefits. Here are the advantages of reusable packaging and how Tosca’s durable containers achieve both.
Standard-sized footprints and better interlocking capabilities create higher stacking, maximizing cube utilization. Lighter pallets allow for fuller loads. Both reduce trips and lower transportation costs.
Packaging savings
RPCs cost less than many reinforced, corrugated boxes, pallets, and bins.
Reduce out-of-stocks
Longer shelf lives and faster restocking reduce out-of-stock items, which prevents an average of 5.9% loss in sales.
Before
After
Boost efficiency
Labor efficiency
Reusables eliminate trips to the baler and prevent box-failure cleanup. They also create more stable stacks, which allow faster loading and unloading.
Reduce injuries
Built-in ergonomic handles make RPCs easier to carry and safer to move.
Automation-ready
Consistently sized, durable reusables prevent the need for multiple machinery changes and eliminate machine jams from debris.
Faster restocking
Retail-ready containers streamline restocking, while stable stacking and sizing create more organized backrooms.
Traceability
Assets can be tracked and traced, and location, humidity, temperature, vibration, and more can be measured.
Before
After
Protect quality
Reduce shrink
Durable, reusable packaging containers, pallets, and bulk bins minimize damage from box crushes.
Optimized for freshness
Reusable assets are designed with ventilation, which helps maintain product freshness, improving customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention.
No contamination
Zero debris prevents contaminating large vats of product in food manufacturing environments.
Before
After
Impact sustainable goals
Eliminate landfill waste
Zero corrugated box waste.
Reduce CO2 emissions
More stable stacks mean fuller trucks and fewer trips.
100% recyclable
Tosca reusables can be used hundreds of times, then ground down and turned into new reusable assets at the end of their life.
Reduce energy use
Innovative ventilation design creates faster cooling, freezing, and thawing.
Reduce water use
The total water use associated with the production, washing, and recycling of Tosca products is 50% less than the water used to create single use corrugated boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I expect to save by switching to reusables?
Savings vary by industry and application, but many of our partners see a significant reduction in costs related to packaging, shrink, transportation, and labor. We can perform a complimentary
custom analysis to estimate your specific ROI.
Does using reusables require more warehouse space?
No, it often requires less. When empty, our RPCs are designed to nest inside one another, reducing their height by up to 75%. This nestable design means they take up far less storage
space than assembled cardboard boxes.
What are the advantages of reusable packaging?
The advantages of reusable packaging includes cost savings, reduces product damage, supports sustainability goals, and eliminates the waste and inefficiencies of single-use packaging like corrugated
boxes.
Are reusable crates more environmentally-friendly?
Yes. By increasing transportation efficiency (fuller trucks, fewer trips since RPCs can stack higher than corrugated without incurring product damage) and minimizing landfill waste, reusable crates can help reduce carbon emissions by up to 60% compared to single-use
alternatives.
Are reusable containers better for automation?
Absolutely. Reusable containers like Tosca RPCs have rigid structures and standardized footprints, making them ideal for automation lines, conveyors, and robotic handling.
