HGP – Albertsons Companies Pharmacies Adopt TemperPack’s ClimaCell™ Packaging
The move is expected to divert up to 75,000 pounds of waste from the landfill every year.
RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — TemperPack, a leader in sustainable packaging, and Albertsons Companies are teaming up to divert tens of thousands of pounds of waste from the landfill every year.
The grocer announced today that it is swapping out traditional Styrofoam® coolers in its pharmacy shipments in favor of TemperPack’s paper-based insulator, ClimaCell™. ClimaCell™ represents a significant breakthrough in packaging technology, allowing companies to protect temperature-sensitive shipments for up to 80 hours while significantly reducing packaging waste.
Albertsons Companies, one of the largest food and drug retailers in the United States, will begin shipping the new packaging to nearly 50,000 specialty care patients, physician offices, and clients in late February, with a full rollout expected over the next year. By switching to a product that customers can conveniently recycle at the curb with the rest of their household’s paper goods, Albertsons Companies expects to divert up to 75,000 pounds of packaging from the landfill every year.
