The new packaging was developed by TemperPack, a U.S. company that focuses on providing sustainable solutions for cold chain shipping. While fully recyclable, this new packaging maintains the proper shipping temperature conditions for its products.<\/p>\n<p>Cold chain shipping has always been a challenge from an environmental standpoint. Enzymes and reagents often require shipment on ice or dry ice, and maintaining shipping temperature is critical, particularly when shipping long distances or to warmer climates. EPS has historically been the &#8221;gold standard&#8221; for cold shipping, as it is light, durable, and well-known for its insulative properties. Unfortunately, EPS is difficult to recycle, and often makes its way to landfills.<\/p>\n<p>NEB&#8217;s ClimaCell cooler will begin to replace EPS shipments in the U.S. in late April \/ early May 2020. For a minority of NEB products that still rely on EPS, specifically those that require shipment on dry ice, NEB will maintain its shipping box recycling program, which allows customers to use a free return label to send their EPS shipping box back to NEB for re-use.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologynetworks.com\/applied-sciences\/product-news\/new-england-biolabs-introduces-100-recyclable-packaging-334037\"> Technology Networks<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New England Biolabs (NEB\u00ae) has announced a transition to a 100% recyclable alternative to expanded polystyrene (EPS) for shipment of most of its products.
