La Poste to switch to Tetris® mode
Packages lined up, carbon saved. How can we reconcile the growing volume of packages to be processed each year (490 million packages delivered in France in 2024) with the ambitious goal of reducing CO2 emissions?
The innovation came from the world of video games, with a logic that is as fun as it is effective: stacking as many parcels as possible in trucks, avoiding empty spaces, just like in the game Tetris.
Thanks to this winning logic, inspired by the legendary puzzle video game Tetris®, La Poste has tripled the number of parcels transported in a single truck, from 1,500 to 4,500. Better-filled trucks mean fewer trucks on the roads and less pollution, with a final score of 15,000 tons of CO₂ emissions avoided each year¹.
The Tetris mode is therefore a real lever for the environment.
La Poste has changed the game when it comes to carbon reduction. By referring to Tetris, it proves that it is not always necessary to rely on cutting-edge technologies to make a difference.

The adventure between Tetris and La Poste continues and takes on a new dimension. To celebrate this collaboration between ingenious gaming and sustainable logistics, La Poste is launching an exclusive La Poste x Tetris collection: sweatshirts, T-shirts, socks, tote bags, and pens in the colors of the two iconic brands.
