Companies can no longer hide from the consumer demand for green products and processes. A recent study found that 66% of consumers worldwide are willing to pay a premium for products they perceive to be sustainable.
When it comes to frozen food and grocery delivery, there are a few easy steps to keep this process sustainable and the company green. First, ditch dry ice. Dry ice is a hazardous material that releases CO2, a greenhouse gas affecting climate change. Not only is it a danger to the environment, but it can also be dangerous to the handler, which makes transporting it a hassle. Replace dry ice with Phase Change Material (PCM), an alternative refrigerant that provides more benefits than just safety.
TCP’s Phase Change Material (PCM) can store and release large amounts of energy, maintaining a temperature within a specific range of refrigerated, frozen, or ultra-cold variations. Depending on the applications or need, the PCM can hold 0°C (32°F), -7°C (19.4°F), -16°C (3.2°F), and -21°C (-5.8°F) for 24 – 48 hours.
The outer shells that hold the PCMs are made of non-hazardous, non-toxic, reusable, and recyclable products, helping TCP and its customers continue the mission to maintain a small carbon footprint. By replacing dry ice, PCMs have the innovative technology to be carbon neutral. Companies using PCMs in place of dry ice can apply for carbon credits, pledging their dedication to sustainability. Reduce waste and maximize resource efficiency with green products.
