‘The Cycle of Tomorrow’ follows the journey of a single crate of tomatoes to reveal the impact of IFCO’s Smart Cycle system. Through poetic visuals and thoughtful storytelling, the film showcases how reusable packaging is transforming the supply chain - paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Through this story, we see how IFCO’s innovative solutions help reduce waste, improve efficiency, and promote a circular economy. As the tomatoes travel through each stage, the film captures the full-circle nature of IFCO’s approach - showing how their packaging not only supports businesses but also benefits the environment by minimising single-use plastics.

At each stage — from growers and distributors to retailers and food banks — we hear directly from the people who use these crates every day, sharing insights into how they support their work and improve the flow of fresh food across the supply chain.

‘The Cycle of Tomorrow’ is a celebration of progress, collaboration, and the power of innovation in creating a greener, more sustainable future. It’s a reminder that sustainability is not just a trend, but an essential part of how we move forward together. This bold commitment reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to reduce its environmental impact and inspire others in the industry to do the same.
