TOSCA, a specialist in reusable plastic packaging and performance pooling solutions, has released a new report highlighting the ‘hidden costs’ associated with pallet ownership.
The resource aims to identify the financial implications of pallet usage and provide strategies for businesses to reduce their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in a sustainable way.
Tosca said that while pallets are a ‘critical component’ of the global supply chain, their associated costs extend beyond the initial purchase price. Maintenance, storage, disposal, and the environmental impact can inflate the TCO.
“Our goal with this report is to bring to light the true cost of pallet ownership that many businesses overlook,” said Erik Marinissen, Tosca’s sales director for DACH and Benelux. “By identifying these hidden costs, we can proactively help businesses make more informed decisions about their supply chain operations and encourage a move towards more sustainable practices.”
Tosca’s solution comes in the form of its pooled reusable plastic pallets. These pallets are said to be capable of eliminating many of the costs associated with owning or renting pallets, and also offer sustainability benefits. Tosca added that they are designed for longer lifespans, require less maintenance, and at the end of their life, they can be fully recycled.
“We’re proud to offer a solution that not only saves businesses money but also contributes to environmental sustainability,” said Tosca’s EMEA president, Dan Lee. “We believe that our reusable pallets are a game-changer for any business using pallets in their supply chain.”
