Tosca launches circular euro pallet for automated and regulation-ready supply chains

European companies, especially in the FMCG sector, are facing stricter sustainability rules while trying to keep operations efficient and cost-effective. In response, Tosca, working together with Cabka, has introduced a new reusable pallet designed to meet these changing requirements. The product, called the Euro-sized Circular Pallet (CP 1208), was launched as a solution for modern supply chains that rely on automation and must comply with environmental regulations.

Laurent Le Mercier, EMEA President at Tosca, indicated that supply chains are experiencing growing pressure from automation, tighter regulations, and rising sustainability expectations. He explained that the new pallet was developed as a standardised option that fits automated systems, improves efficiency, and supports circular logistics without requiring major operational changes.

The pallet follows the standard Euro size of 1200 by 800 millimetres, allowing it to work smoothly with commonly used handling equipment across Europe. Its rounded edges help reduce damage during forklift handling, while the consistent design supports reliable performance in large-scale operations. According to the developers, this makes it easier for businesses to modernise logistics processes without significant investment or disruption.

Alex Masharov, CEO of Cabka, noted that the project demonstrates how recycled plastic can be turned into durable transport equipment that supports both efficiency and sustainability. He emphasised that using circular materials can help supply chains move toward more responsible and resource-efficient operations.

The pallet is designed to work together with reusable plastic crates, with built-in grooves that help secure loads without straps and improve stability during transport. It can also be fitted with RFID technology, enabling better tracking, asset management, and visibility across the supply chain.

Unlike traditional wooden pallets, the plastic version is non-porous, easy to clean, and resistant to splinters. It includes drainage holes that prevent water build-up and reduce moisture, helping protect products and maintain hygiene standards. The material is made from recycled plastic, which can help companies reduce reliance on raw material markets and maintain more stable operating costs.

Safety was another focus in the design. The pallet includes built-in handles, anti-slip features, and improved stability to make daily handling easier for workers. It is also more than four kilograms lighter than standard wooden pallets, which can help reduce physical strain and lower the risk of workplace injuries during manual lifting and movement.

Laurent Le Mercier also highlighted that improving stability, grip, and ease of handling can support safer working conditions while maintaining operational performance in high-volume logistics environments.
