Actively looking for more sustainable cold chain packaging materials has been a lifelong proposition for cold chain packaging suppliers worldwide, and there are currently thousands of companies worldwide that are working to stop the use of harmful, unsustainable packaging materials. And to find more environmentally friendly alternatives to materials such as plastic and polystyrene foam. However, due to the particularity of drugs, reagents, and samples, low and stable temperatures are required for transportation, and special products are protected to a high standard. This limits the variety of materials that can be selected for cold chain packaging.
The use of PCM, or phase change materials, is an innovation in the field of cold chain packaging. This unique material can change from a liquid state to a solid while releasing as latent heat, retaining energy. This innovative phase change material can improve cooling capacity, limit energy use and reduce carbon emissions from cold chain transport.
For the green concept, ELGIR MEDICAL has also been working hard to form a circular economy by developing reusable cold chain packaging, and is committed to reducing waste. By keeping materials and energy within the economic cycle for as long as possible.
