ThermoPod packaging products help shipper, receiver be kind to environment

ThermoPod super-insulated envelopes and ThermoKeeper thermal protective packaging liners are specifically designed for temperature control and protection of mail order shipments of wine, smoked meat, seafood, pies and cakes, chocolates, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, pet meds, and other temperature-sensitive payloads.

Patented cotton-enhanced insulating materials used in all ThermoPod products offer soft cushioning thermal protection. After use, the packaging is disposable as ordinary trash.

The insulating cotton padding is produced using a selected blend of recycled cotton fibers that are super-absorbent for containment of spills and contain a time-sensitive EPA-approved antimicrobial additive for cross-contamination prevention. Cotton materials are completely aerobic and anaerobically biodegradable in less than one year when in the presence of active microorganisms as verified by ASTM D-6400 biodisintegration testing.

Nonwoven cotton insulation fibers in the packaging liners are considered compostable and comply with current FTC’s 2013 Green guidelines. ThermoPod’s protective poly film contains a special additive designed to attract microbes and thus stimulate biodegradation to occur in greater than a year.

Super-insulated ThermoPod envelopes and ThermoKeeper box liners are available in variable thicknesses of ultra-insulating padding. Liners can be custom-sized to fit snugly inside existing shipping containers, saving space on pallets and shelves and minimizing shipping costs.

ThermoPod temperature-controlled packaging products are manufactured by the ThermoPod Division of MP Global Products, headquartered in Norfolk NE.
