Tosca and Cabka launch recycled plastic euro pallet to replace wood
Reusable packaging pooler Tosca and recycled plastics manufacturer Cabka have introduced the CP1208, a recycled plastic euro-size pallet positioned as an alternative to wooden transport pallets. The pallet is 4 kg lighter than standard wood pallets of the same 1200 x 800 mm footprint and is designed for repair, reuse and recycling, with planned RFID tracking integration.
