[H2] 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.

[H2] 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.

[H2] Frequently Asked Questions

[IMG: A Tosca produce crate being carried by a farm worker inside of a produce greenhouse]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely. Reusable containers like Tosca RPCs have rigid structures and standardized footprints, making them ideal for automation lines, conveyors, and robotic handling.

[H2] Frequently Asked Questions

[IMG: Tosca]

Tosca is a global leader in reusable packaging solutions. We provide a “pooling system” of Reusable Plastic Containers (RPCs), pallets, and bulk bins that help companies move their products through the supply chain more efficiently, safely, and sustainably.

Both companies are dedicated to food safety. Tosca’s advantage often lies in our innovative, product-specific designs and our reputation for responsive, high-touch customer service. We work as an extension of your team to solve your specific supply chain challenges.

We manage the entire lifecycle of the containers—including cleaning, repairs, and logistics—allowing you to focus on your core business without the capital expense and operational burden of managing your own container fleet.

It’s much more than just a rental. Supply chain pooling is a complete, managed service where businesses share a pool of reusable assets. Tosca manages the entire process: delivery, collection, sanitation, and tracking. This creates a circular system that is more efficient,
sustainable, and cost-effective than buying and managing your own packaging.
