In a separate development, the Massachusetts-based company has launched TRUEtemp Naturals Cellulose Shipper, a new product line of thermo-efficient, 100% curbside recyclable and environmentally sustainable packaging solutions.

Developed from curbside recyclable insulation fibre that maintains temperature fluctuation, the packing keeps the contents stable until its arrival to the final destination.

Western Michigan University has tested the OCC-E certified cellulose insulation.

PTG COO Thomas Lawlor said: “Pharma cold-chain logistics is predicted to grow to $18bn by 2022 as the demand for temperature-sensitive health care products continue. We have made significant investments in our infrastructure, team, production and lab equipment, and this expansion was a natural next step.

“This provides us with redundant manufacturing capabilities while substantially increasing our capacity for our cellulose line of products.”
