Tosca launches the recycled plastic Circular Pallet for the fresh produce supply chain

At Fruit Attraction, Tosca presented its Euro-format Circular Pallet (CP1208), developed in collaboration with Cabka, for safer, more efficient, sustainable and compliant supply chains.

For an efficient supply chain

Designed to integrate seamlessly into existing operations, the Tosca Circular Pallet (CP1208) in Euro format offers the stability and reliability required by large-scale automated environments. Its standard Euro dimensions of 1200 × 800 mm enable integration with equipment for handling Euro-format pallets, according to the requirements of each installation. The pallet’s rounded edges also help minimise damage during handling with forklift trucks, reducing impact points compared with traditional models with square edges.

The Tosca Circular Pallet (CP1208) offers a stable, standardised platform that helps companies modernise and optimise their supply chains. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Tosca’s reusable plastic crates, the integrated grooves in the deck securely hold the crates in place without the need for strapping, enabling stable and safer double-layer transport and efficient load handling. The integration of Rfid technology further improves traceability, asset management and full supply chain visibility.

Resistant, hygienic and made with recycled plastic

The Tosca Circular Pallet (CP1208) is non-porous, easy to clean and splinter-free, making it ideal for environments in the fast-moving consumer goods (Fmcg), agricultural production and retail sectors, where hygiene, product protection and consistent quality are essential. Its robust plastic structure is made from an exclusive blend of recycled plastic and includes integrated drainage holes to prevent water accumulation and reduce moisture retention. Overall, this helps prevent product contamination and damage, while ensuring consistent performance in automated storage and retrieval systems.

For safer handling

Fundamentally, its ergonomic design includes well-integrated, optimally positioned handles on the top deck, greater stability and anti-slip features to improve handling safety throughout the supply chain, from warehouses and packing stations to retail distribution centres. The pallet is also more than 4 kg lighter than traditional wooden pallets, making it easier to lift and move during daily operations.

In addition to operational efficiency, this supports the social pillar of Esg by helping to reduce employees’ physical strain and the risk of injuries associated with manual handling. By combining lighter plastic with a stable, ergonomic design and handles on the top deck, the pallet helps create safer and more comfortable working environments in modern, high-performance logistics operations.

Comments

"Fruit Attraction brings together many of the companies shaping the future of the fresh produce supply chain, making it the ideal setting to discuss practical solutions to today’s challenges," said Laurent Le Mercier, president Emea of Tosca. "The Tosca Circular Pallet (CP1208) in Euro format demonstrates how reusable transport packaging can help companies improve food safety and efficiency, ensure compliance with evolving regulations such as Ppwr and reduce waste, all while maintaining the performance required by modern supply chains. Together with Cabka, we are helping customers turn circularity into a tangible advantage across all their operations."

"Our contribution consists of transforming recycled plastic into durable transport products designed around customers’ operational needs. With this pallet, we have combined Cabka’s expertise in materials and product engineering with Tosca’s experience in pooling. Together, we are putting recycled materials to work for the demanding fresh produce supply chains," said Alex Masharov, ceo of Cabka.
