Tosca Circular Pallet CP 1208 is designed specifically for modern, automated and regulation-compliant supply chains
Tosca, in partnership with Cabka, has introduced a new solution designed to help companies meet tighter sustainability regulations while maintaining efficient, cost-effective operations. Launched this week, the Euro-sized Tosca Circular Pallet (CP 1208) is a next-generation pallet designed specifically for modern, automated and regulation-compliant supply chains.
Laurent Le Mercier, EMEA president at Tosca, commented: “Our new circular pallet gives producers, growers, and retailers a standardised, automation-ready, PPWR-compliant alternative that improves efficiency, enhances worker safety, and supports a truly circular supply chain without disrupting existing operations”.
Engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing operations, Tosca said its new pallet delivers the consistency and reliability that automated, large-scale environments demand. Its 1,200mm x 800mm Euro-standard dimensions ensure full compatibility and integration with Euro-size pallet handling equipment, eliminating the need for costly retrofits or process changes. Rounded skid edges also help minimise damage during forklift handling, reducing impact points compared with traditional square skid designs.
“This pallet demonstrates what circular logistics should look like in practice,’’ said Alex Masharov, CEO of Cabka. “By transforming recycled plastic into high-performance transport assets, we enable supply chains that are both more efficient and more sustainable. Together with Tosca, we are showing how circular materials can become the new standard for FMCG, retail and wider logistics.’’
Designed to work seamlessly with Tosca’s reusable plastic crates, integrated deck grooves securely lock crates into place without strapping, enabling stable, safer double-stacked transport and efficient load handling. RFID integration further enhances traceability, asset management, and full supply chain visibility.
Tosca said the new pallet is non-porous, easy to clean and splinter-free, making it ideally suited to FMCG, growers’ and retailers’ environments where hygiene, product protection and quality are critical. It is made from a blend of recycled plastic and includes integrated drainage holes to prevent water build-up and reduce moisture retention.
“Overall, this helps resist contamination and damage while maintaining consistent performance in automated storage and retrieval systems. Additionally, leveraging recycled content reduces dependence on volatile input markets, supporting more stable operational costs throughout the year,” Tosca said.
“Crucially, its ergonomic design includes smoothly integrated, well-positioned top-deck handles, enhanced stability and anti-slip features to improve handling safety across the supply chain, from warehouses and packing stations to retail distribution centres. The pallet is also more than 4kg lighter than traditional wooden pallets, making it easier to lift and move during daily operations.”
Beyond operational efficiency, Tosca said this supports the social pillar of ESG by helping reduce physical strain on employees and lowering the risk of injuries associated with manual handling.
“In high-throughput environments, efficiency and worker safety go hand in hand,” said Le Mercier. “By improving stability, grip and ease of handling, the Tosca CP 1208 helps reduce manual strain and the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, creating safer working conditions while supporting operational performance.”
The Tosca CP 1208 is engineered to support supply chains in achieving PPWR and EPR compliance, offering a future-proof alternative to wooden pallets, which require ISPM-15 heat treatment or fumigation and are less compatible with circular reuse models.
“At Tosca, we don’t simply supply a pallet,” said Le Mercier. “We partner with customers to manage assets and deliver supply chain performance, meet regulatory requirements, and turn circularity into a lasting competitive advantage.”
