Cryopak does not believe in waste, we believe in Reusing, Reducing & Recycling

Recycling/Reusing Guidelines

1. Carefully separate the outer film from the natural fiber pad.
2. The outer film, categorized as #4 plastic, can be recycled where facilities for this type of plastic are available.
3. Options for the natural fiber pad:

• Disposal: Place it in regular trash. It is designed to biodegrade in standard landfill conditions within a year.
• Recycling: If your local recycling program accepts cloth or fabric, you can include the natural fiber pad in this category.
• Reuse: The pad can be repurposed for various craft projects, such as making pillows or seat cushions, or in gardening as a weed barrier, among other practical uses.

Instructions to recycle

Cryo Box S70 Instructions for Reuse

Instructions to recycle:

Use an EPS recycling channel to dispose of the EPS and EPS components. You can visit https://nexkemia.com/sustainability/ and https://www.epsindustry.org/recycling-map to find a polysterene recycler close to you.

Why this material? We integrate Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) into our products, ensuring superior insulation and protection during the cold chain process. EPS is not only lightweight and durable but also recyclable, aligning with our commitment to environmental responsibility.

Instructions to recycle:

Put them in a cardboard recycling bin as flat as possible. Remove all the content inside the cardboard like EPS panels.

Why this material? Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging materials. Choose from our eco-friendly paper-based solutions, carefully sourced and designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality and functionality.

Instructions to recycle:

Open the gel-pack using scissors and dispose of the content into a sink . Suggested to do so while running the water. Collect the plastic bag and dispose of it in a plastic recycling bin.

Why this material?

We understand the importance of responsible plastic use. Our approach ensures that plastics in our products are either recycled or can be easily recycled, minimizing their impact on the environment. Our gels are made out of PCM. These innovative materials not only enhance the performance of our packaging but also contribute to energy efficiency, promoting a greener and more sustainable cold chain.

Why this material?

Our products feature Polyurethane (PUR), a versatile material known for its durability and reusability. By incorporating PUR, we extend the lifecycle of our packaging solutions, reducing the need for constant replacements.

Traditionally, PUR ends up in landfills, but it is possible to recycle the PUR foam. It can be done by reusing the ground and reprocessing material in new products through chemical or mechanical recycling. The PUR foam can also be used for energy recovery, as it is a raw material that can be used as a replacement for virgin fossil fuel.

PUR must be disposed in a dedicated PUR bin. Contact your waste disposal company to arrange a pick up.
