Vericool's vaccine cooler held -70°C and then composted instead of landfilling
A starch-based cooler keeps vaccines at -20°C to -70°C for up to 96 hours, and after the trip it becomes soil.
Vericool
那一手
Shipments of temperature-sensitive drugs used expanded-polystyrene boxes that held the temperature but then went to landfill, so the cold chain's footprint lived on after the medicine arrived.
Vericool, which invented what it called the world's first recyclable and biodegradable cooler, developed a compostable thermal shipper for COVID-19 vaccines.
It maintains -20°C to -70°C (or colder) for up to 96 hours using starch-based insulation, meeting ultra-cold requirements while being recyclable and compostable at end of life.
为什么管用
- The insulation does the cold work but also rots away, so there is no EPS to landfill.
- A 96-hour window is long enough for ultra-cold vaccines to reach a normal clinic.
- Composting the box removes a waste stream that regulators and buyers increasingly price.
- It works as a drop-in replacement, so the cold chain doesn't have to change.
可以搬走什么
Design the disposal into the product, not out of it — the waste you avoid is a cost the competition pays.
后来呢
Vericool's compostable and recyclable shippers were promoted for COVID-19 vaccine delivery, targeting -20°C to -70°C for up to 96 hours, and are also used for frozen and fresh meal delivery.
