Fiordelisi improves transport efficiency and reduces emissions with Tosca’ s reusable Active Lock Crates
The power of reusable plastic packaging
Reusable plastic packaging offers increased consistency, durability, and hygiene compared to singleuse packaging. Made from 100 % recycled and fully recyclable plastic, Tosca’ s packaging is designed for repeated use, maintaining strength and quality through every cycle. Unlike cardboard or wood, plastic doesn’ t absorb moisture, warp or splinter- making it ideal for food and beverage environments where both hygiene and presentation are paramount.
By switching from single-use packaging to reusable plastic solutions, retailers and brands reduce their dependence on disposable materials, cut carbon emissions, and eliminate packaging waste. Independent analysis shows that, compared to a single-use display of 100 products, the UDP half pallet can reduce carbon emissions by 400 – 600 kilograms of CO 2 equivalent, delivering measurable sustainability gains without compromising efficiency.

Once used, each pallet, crate, or tray is collected, inspected, washed, and redistributed by Tosca-ensuring every item remains in circulation for as long as possible.
This system reduces capital investment, eliminates storage and maintenance costs, and guarantees consistent availability, even during seasonal peaks. By keeping assets in use across multiple customers,
