Bio-Lab Boosts Sustainability with Curbside-Recyclable Shipper
New England Biolabs’ new ClimaCell cold-chain shipper maintains a strict temperature-controlled environment to protect the company’s sensitive biological materials, which are sent to life-science researchers across the country.
Given today’s global pandemic coupled with growing environmental concerns, how are healthcare’s most vital products being safely and reliably delivered? And how it this being done sustainably?
New England Biolabs (NEB) has found one such solution with ClimaCell from TemperPack, which is sourced by UPS Healthcare as part of its supply chain solutions for pharmaceutical, biopharma, and medical device companies. ClimaCell is plant-based, curbside-recyclable insulation that protects controlled room temperature (CRT) and refrigerated/frozen pack-outs for up to 36 hours.
“Our products being mostly biological materials, we ship to life-science researchers at laboratories around the world,” says Deana Martin, NEB’s marketing communications associate director. “Maintaining shipping temperature conditions is critical, particularly when shipping long distances or to warmer climates. We offer overnight delivery to most US locations, with an expected delivery time of 18 to 24 hours — well within the ClimaCell recommendation.”
