Sustainability Initiatives
A circular economy could reduce global CO2 emissions by 39%. Further highlighting the importance of a circular economy model, 80% of global plastic waste could be recycled by 2040 should circular economy principles be applied. Sustainability is a concept that is coming more and more to the forefront of everyday life – it is no longer a suggestion; it is an obligation to ensure a healthy future. The importance of striking the right balance of human necessity while respecting nature and its resources is something Cryopak has been, and continues to be, committed to. As we continue to provide innovative cold chain packaging solutions across many industries, those innovations core values begin with a sustainable and ecofriendly approach.

CRYOPAK’S CIRCULAR ECONOMY MODEL 

Cryopak is committed to innovation by delivering cold chain packaging solutions that not only excel in quality and performance but also significantly minimize our environmental footprint. We are continuously enhancing our technologies with the goal of reducing energy consumption, responsibly using materials, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions across all our operations and product lines. Cryopak advances sustainable practices through innovative product development, responsible operational methods and products that provide a smaller ecological footprint, creating a full suite of environmental initiatives from conception to delivery.

Cryopak Eco Gel™ is made from a proprietary blend of natural, biodegradable materials, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The gel maintains consistent temperature control, is resilient across multiple uses, and is engineered for maximum and is designed for optimal performance in diverse weather conditions.

HOW CRYOPAK DELIVERS SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS  

Specializing in several industries, ranging from pharmaceuticals and life sciences to food and beverage, provides Cryopak with the challenge, and opportunity, to apply our sustainable innovations on a wide scale.

Our Eco Gel gel pack offers a pioneering solution in cold chain logistics by using a proprietary blend of natural and biodegradable materials, ensuring a minimal environmental impact. Maintaining an exceptional level of temperature performance, these biodegradable, compostable, recyclable and drain safe Eco Gel gel packs are a cornerstone of Cryopak’s commitment to sustainability.

Cryopak also offers a full-service packaging solution with our in-house, manufactured EcoPak product line. Made with 95% post-industrial, pre-customer recycled cardboard construction, these pre-qualified, temperature-controlled, eco-friendly packouts provide an innovative, high-performance solution. The EcoPak Paper, EcoPak Cotton and EcoPak Mailers are all compostable and recyclable leaving a limited environmental footprint behind.

Sustainable innovation is not limited to new products at Cryopak, as we also try to improve existing products to meet growing market demand for sustainable solutions. A joint innovation with NexKemia produced the NexTherm Graphite Expanded Polystyrene (GPS), a superior, environmentally conscious improvement over traditional Expandable Polystyrene (EPS). Using 20% less material than EPS, 30% recycled graphite beads and increasing payload capacity by 25-30%, NexTherm GPS is proof sustainable innovation is possible with traditional products.


Cryopak and NexKemia's integrated recycling program ensures a true Circular Economy, preventing EPS from ending up in landfills and positively impacting customers' Eco Scores with documented recycling programs.
Cryopak also offers a full-service packaging solution with our in-house, manufactured EcoPakTM product line. Made with 95% post-industrial, pre-customer recycled cardboard construction, these pre-qualified, temperature-controlled, eco-friendly packouts provide an innovative, high-performance solution.
Cryopak’s innovative approach to sustainability goes beyond our products, it is also a philosophy that we apply through our R3 Service Program – Reuse/Reduce/Recycle . A global initiative, the R3 program offers our clients the opportunity to reuse, or return, our products, providing savings on shipping, techno and disposal fees. A unique and eco-friendly approach that we have been proud to offer to our clients for nearly 10 years.
