Ollie & Tosca Partner to Bring Reusable Packaging to the Booming Fresh Pet Food Sector

BOULEVARD 14.04.2026

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / April 14, 2026 / Tosca, a global leader in reusable packaging solutions, and Ollie, the human-grade fresh dog food company and leader in the dog wellbeing revolution, today announce their partnership. The two companies are rethinking how fresh pet food travels from production to distribution. The goal: stronger product protection, leaner operations, and far less packaging waste.

Frozen, human-grade products need packaging that maintains integrity during transit and allows for effective airflow during freezing. Traditional corrugated packaging was not built for either.

For Ollie, corrugated packaging presented challenges and there was room for optimizations.

"Stacks would break down and disintegrate in transit," said Ed Brockhoff, Director of Supply Chain and Manufacturing at Ollie. "That affected efficiency and product integrity." 

By transitioning to Tosca's Reusable Plastic Containers (RPCs), Ollie has achieved a dual win: improved load stability and superior freezing performance. "The ventilation with reusable plastic containers means product gets frozen as quickly as possible," Brockhoff added.

Eric Dougherty, General Manager at Ollie, noted that the operational impact was immediate. "It's a huge time saver. The facility runs smoother, and there's no going back," he said.

For Tosca, the partnership reflects their philosophy. Michael Davis, Customer Success Manager, put it plainly. "High-growth food brands don't just need packaging; they need infrastructure that performs consistently at scale. Our role is to partner closely with operations teams, understand their environment, and implement reusable systems that reduce waste, improve protection, and support long-term resilience."

Sustainability is built into the model. Tosca's containers are pooled, sanitized, inspected, and returned to circulation. Each cycle displaces single use corrugated. Over time, the numbers add up. At Ollie's current volume, the switch has saved the equivalent of 9,210 trees since 2022.

"As we grow, our responsibility grows with us," Brockhoff said. "This partnership allows us to align premium quality and environmental accountability."
