Founded in 2015, TemperPack Technologies manufactures sustainable thermal insulation for cold chain packaging for food and life sciences products in the US.
Driven by demand for its patented ClimaCell thermal liners, the company has experienced considerable growth in recent years.
ClimaCell is designed to act as a sustainable alternative to expanded polystyrene (EPS) for transporting perishable foods, pharmaceuticals and other life science products.
In addition to being non-toxic and kerbside-recyclable, the solution is said to reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions.
US-based grocery chain Albertsons and speciality pharmacy OptionOne Pharmacy are among the companies to have used ClimaCell for pharmaceutical shipments.
