Global Sustainability Regulations and Sustainability Manager for EMEA

ABOUT TOSCA

Tosca is a global leader in reusable packaging and pooling solutions that service the supply chain end to end. Re-use is the key word as Tosca facilitates moving away from single use packaging towards a circular model of reusable packaging with its robust portfolio of plastic containers, pallets, bins, crates and more. We focus on optimizing the flow of perishables, eliminating waste at every turn – product, packaging, labor and transportation waste.
