Replace EPS with High-Performance, Sustainable Insulation
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam has long been used in cold chain shipping due to its low cost and insulating properties. However, increasing regulations, disposal challenges, and sustainability expectations are driving companies to adopt more advanced EPS alternatives.
Recycoolers® by Vericool deliver reliable thermal performance while reducing environmental impact and supporting modern compliance standards.
EPS is a petroleum-based foam widely used for insulated packaging. Despite its effectiveness, it presents several challenges:
These issues are accelerating the shift toward sustainable cold chain packaging solutions.
EPS undergoes photodegradation, fragmenting into microplastics that persist in ecosystems and may enter food chains.
Key concerns include:
These factors have made EPS a growing concern for regulators and businesses alike.
Recycoolers® are designed for modern cold chain logistics, combining performance, sustainability, and compliance.
Recycoolers® are used across:
They provide consistent temperature control while aligning with sustainability and regulatory requirements.
EPS is no longer aligned with evolving regulatory and environmental standards. Transitioning to Recycoolers® allows companies to:
