Cool Shipping Packaging

At the Innovation Day for SMEs of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, an award was presented for a refrigerated shipping package with thermal insulation made of recycled paper.

The Munich-based company easy2cool GmbH in cooperation with the Technical University of Dresden, Institute for Natural Materials Technology, HFT, AG Paper Technology, has developed a cooling package with thermal insulation made of recycled paper, which is used for online shipping.

The Styrofoam and plastic packaging most commonly used in e-commerce for shipping foods and medicines that require refrigeration is difficult to recycle. Therefore they often end up in the incinerator. Packaging with film-covered wastepaper fiber mats is a sustainable alternative. These can be fed into the wastepaper cycle.
