Billions of reasons to partner with Tosca

Our reusable products have already prevented millions of pounds of corrugated from entering landfills. Every time you use one of our RPCs instead of corrugated, you keep 1.5 pounds of cardboard or more from entering the waste stream.

pounds of corrugated packaging have been prevented from entering the supply chain since we began issuing RPCs in 2000.

Global Sustainability Director, Tosca
Making the switch to Tosca’s reusable crates was easy and stress-free. We appreciate Tosca’s continuous product innovation and development, such as quicker folding rates and even more durable plastic, and look forward to further growing our partnership into other areas of our business.

The pooling program has been a massive success in Ireland and is helping us to reduce our carbon footprint and eliminate waste within the supply chain. Avery Dennison’s and Tosca’s plastic pallet pooling vision doesn’t stop after the pallets arrive to the customer. We encourage customers to take the chance to extend the pooling program further down the supply chain to end users and help grow the ecosystem further.
Violeta Gómez
Central Packaging Leader at Avery Dennison
I think we can always say we want to be green and we want to reduce our carbon footprint, but in the end, it needs to work. In this case, it works for all of us: the warehouse, the individual stores, and us.
