Tosca Partners with Massachusetts Supplier Raw Seafoods
14 October, 2021 – Tosca, the largest pooler of reusable plastic containers (RPCs) in North America, announced their partnership with family owned and operated Raw Seafoods, and will be supplying their seafood business with RPCs. Through this partnership, Raw Seafoods will be able to divert EPS foam from the supply chain and reduce their overall environmental impact.
Raw Seafoods will be shipping shellfish, scallops, shrimp, and more in Tosca’s seafood RPC. The crate is designed to safely transport seafood products throughout the supply chain while avoiding the major damage to the environment caused by EPS foam. Stronger walls and interlocked stacking support the stack above and prevent product inside from being crushed. RPCs also maintain the cold-chain, preventing spoilage to costly products.
Jon Kalin, Chief Commercial Officer at Tosca, is happy to see another seafood supplier embracing Tosca’s sustainable packaging for seafood, “The seafood industry faces many challenges unique to seafood and we have worked hard to create a product that supports their needs. We are proud to partner with a sustainability-minded company like Raw Seafoods and to provide them with a better way to transport seafood safely through the supply chain.”
Jason Hutchens, President of Raw Seafoods, looks forward to a strong partnership with Tosca, “We take quality and service very seriously at Raw Seafoods. With RPCs, we are able to ensure our high-quality seafood product make it all the way to the end consumer intact, without the negative environmental impact EPS foam is known for.”
