In today's world, with more products needing reliable temperature control, high performing cool-chain insulation has become more critical than ever. However, traditional insulation materials used in cool chain packaging have a significant environmental impact and their disposal poses a challenge to end consumers. To tackle this issue, Thermogard introduces PaperShield Ultra, a new innovative insulation solution made from recycled cardboard fibres, that is sustainable, efficient, and fit for purpose.
PaperShield Ultra is insulation composed of recycled cardboard fibres, making it a sustainable alternative to traditional insulation materials. Instead of taking hundreds of years to decompose, PaperShield Ultra can be recycled in your recycling bin at the end of its life cycle.
This solution reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and helps to create a circular economy where it can be used without harming the environment. PaperShield Ultra allows for a frictionless disposal process and unburdens your customers of the worry that their purchasing habits and your packaging material has negative implications on the environment.
As paper is a commonly used and easily recognizable material, consumers are more likely to recycle PaperShield Ultra insulation compared to traditional insulation materials like EPS foam, which can be confusing and challenging to recycle. According to the EPA, the recycling rate for paper and paperboard in the US was 66.2% in 2019.
As a business, you can have confidence that your paper insulation is not contributing to the growing waste problem, and your customers can have confidence in your dedication to sustainability.
PaperShield Ultra is an efficient and effective insulation solution for cool chain packaging. It provides thick cushioning & absorption, is easy to handle, and flexible enough that it can be molded to encase product to provide a snug fit. This snug fit reduces the amount of heat transfer, helping to maintain the temperature of the product during shipping whilst absorbing impact and moisture, further protecting the product from damage.
Not only does PaperShield Ultra provide efficiencies on a packout level, but also in your transit considerations. Although robust enough to protect your product from external conditions and travel, PaperShield Ultra is still lightweight, saving on transit costs.
PaperShield Ultra is manufactured in-house at our Thermogard warehouses, again saving you time and money when created in a local warehouse near you. Often sustainable cool chain packaging can come with a higher price tag and longer lead time, especially when it is custom designed to fit your carton and is shipped from overseas.
PaperShield Ultra combats this as is manufactured in-house at Thermogard's warehouses to custom sizes and thicknesses. This not only eliminates long wait times, and expensive freight, but allows for a more tailored approach to your cool chain transit.
