Customer Partnerships Driving Sustainability
Tosca collaborates closely with customers as a trusted partner to drive transformative change through end-to-end supply chain optimization. Its support extends beyond sustainable pooling and reusable packaging assets, encompassing consulting services on navigating new regulations, identifying supply chain applications of emerging technologies, and aiding customers in the implementation of automated environments.
In 2023, Tosca joined forces with Simpsons Beverages to tackle supply, safety, and sustainability challenges. By transitioning to Tosca’s Superior Hybrid Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) for liquid and pooling models, Simpsons Beverages realized enhanced sustainability, increased operational efficiency, and reduced overall costs. This partnership also positioned them for future growth and environmental compliance.
Tosca’s Vision for the Future – Leading the Reusable Revolution
Tosca is committed to harnessing data, enhancing digitization, and leveraging its expertise to support customers in reducing food waste, emissions, and costs. The company aims to adopt a more integrated approach to packaging by promoting the elimination of single-use alternatives and advancing reusable secondary and tertiary packaging solutions.
Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, Tosca will continue advocating for regulatory changes that prioritize reusable assets and pooling services over recycling packaging wherever feasible, positioning reusables as a more sustainable alternative. Additionally, it will seek exemptions from packaging taxes for reusable solutions. The company also plans to utilize innovations such as Tosca Asset IQ™ to minimize food damage, enhance stock control, and promote sustainability throughout the supply chain. By partnering with customers on their sustainability journeys, Tosca will provide guidance and data aimed at reducing Scope 3 emissions, cutting costs, and bringing products to market. With its strategic vision, Tosca will remain a leader in the reusable revolution.
