To celebrate, collectible Tetris-themed stamps will be released and sold online and at major post offices throughout France.

With 490 million parcels delivered in France in 2024, La Poste set out to answer the question, "How can we reconcile the growing volume of parcels to be handled each year with the ambitious goal of decarbonization?" An immediate, practical, and responsible solution was needed, and it came from an unlikely place – the world of video games. With a logic as playful as it is effective: stack as many parcels as possible in the trucks, avoiding empty spaces, just like in Tetris.
La Poste's floor-to-ceiling stacking strategy has dramatically improved the efficiency of its transportation and has managed to reduce carbon emissions in the process. By maximizing space in each truck, using the Tetris mindset, the number of parcels transported in each truck has gone from 1,500 to 4,500. More efficient loading means fewer trucks on the road, lower fuel consumption, and over 15,000 tons of CO2 emissions avoided every year. This innovative partnership between La Poste and The Tetris Company showcases a brilliant fusion of playful ingenuity and sustainable logistics, setting a new standard for environmental innovation.
