Tosca’s reusable boxes let Megamark transfer, distribute, and highlight new products at the point of sale. This strategic action is projected to meet Megamark’s sustainability objectives by enhancing logistics, reducing running expenses, and having a smaller general impact on the environment.
Tosca’s recyclable solutions are designed to minimise handling, storage, and returning item expenses to the business. These reusable containers are robust and of good quality, hence Megamark hopes to save money over time. To further increase logistics’ efficiency, they also simplify storing procedures and enhance operations all through the supply chain.
These containers allow Megamark to reduce the usage of single-use packaging at its stores in Campania, Molise, Basilicata, and Calabria. This shift will enable the business to fulfil its objective of having less of an environmental effect.
One approach Tosca’s ideas can be applied is using wood-look containers. Each year, they will be used for 9.6 million crates of fruit and veggies and 1 million crates of red meat. These wood-like decorations are supposed to enhance the appearance of fresh food, hence generating a “farm-fresh ambiance” demonstrated to boost sales. First utilised in 2017, similar reusable containers proved successful in Carrefour’s Market Attrazione 2.0 and Express 3 Minuti store types.
Apart from reusable boxes, Tosca has previously launched other environmentally friendly goods. The corporation created a Life Cycle Analysis tool for 2023 to help consumers determine the environmental worth of its goods. By using Tosca’s foldable Intermediate Bulk Containers, for instance, businesses might reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the volume of fossil fuels and water they consume when transporting bulk liquids.
Tosca’s inventive packaging concepts have inspired other companies as well. Working together, Carrefour Belgium, Cornet, and DW Reusables created a six-pack for beer bottles made from just recycled plastic. These packets were designed to be used, recovered, and then gathered in line with the concept of a circular economy.
DS Smith has also produced temperature-regulated fiber-based packaging as a substitute for expanded polystyrene for transporting pharmaceutical and biotech products. Another instance of how more companies are using environmentally friendly packaging solutions is this one, which can maintain a temperature of 23°C for up to 36 hours.
Megamark shows that it values both running effectively and being environmentally friendly by choosing Tosca’s recyclable containers. It also provides a fantastic model for other businesses looking to reduce their environmental effect by bettering supply chain management.
