For years, gel packs have been treated as the default answer in cold chain packaging. But as EPR starts reshaping the economics of packaging, more businesses are beginning to ask whether the systems they rely on still make commercial sense.    The challenge is no longer just maintaining temperature performance. It is balancing performance with transport cost, packaging weight, operational efficiency, and sustainability expectations all at the same time.    That raises an interesting question, “What if effective cold chain cooling did not need gel at all?” 🤔    In this week’s newsletter, I explore why the industry is starting to rethink some long-standing assumptions around coolant design and why simpler, lighter systems may play a much bigger role in the future of temperature-controlled packaging.    Our team has also been working tirelessly to bring you an exciting new product. Stay tuned to find out more! 😀    #ColdChain #ExtendedProducerResponsibility #Sustainability #PackagingCompliance #SupplyChainSustainability
