24 Nov 2022 --- Avery Dennison Labels and Packaging Materials (LPM) is partnering with Tosca, a reusable plastic packaging and pooling solutions provider, to switch to plastic pallets for reducing CO2 emissions. Avery Dennison LPM aims to switch a substantial portion of its product distribution across the continent to plastic pallets to save over 800 metric tons of CO2 emissions from its European supply chain annually. Avery Dennison explains that plastic pallets are more durable than their wooden counterparts, as they can be reused more often and are less prone to breakages which can help reduce the risk of damage and waste in the supply chain. Tosca estimates that its plastic pallets can be used over 100 times and will be recycled at their end-of-life. “This is an exciting development for Tosca in the non-food industry and one we are confident will be a huge success. We look forward to collaborating with Avery Dennison and their partner network in the years ahead and seeing how much CO2 emission reductions can be achieved together,” Eric Frank, CEO at Tosca tells PackagingInsights.
