Entropy Solutions Greenbox

Entropy Solutions’ Greenbox insulated shipping case protects temperature sensitive products, such as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, blood samples, transplants and other up till 5 days, two times as long as any other no-energy consuming refrigerating shipping device.

The packaging system consists of three components: a corrugated shipping case made from high-density polyethylene, Thermo-Lock insulating panels and E(25) biodegradable, free of carbon emission phase-changing material converted in rigid plastic E-packs or flexible pillow pouches.
The Greenbox construction is the centre of the system, using a sustainable plastic folding box, a unique combination of phase-changing material and Thermo-Lok panels, which give the required resistance against heat transmission. Greenbox protects temperature-sensitive products against cold as well as heat, even under extreme circumstances.

The sustainable components of this packaging system make it feasible to use the box some 100 times. Entropy offers at this moment 3 standard sizes, 288 cu-in (4,719 ltr), 600 cu-in (9,832 ltr) and 1,156 cu-in (18,943 ltr). The company guarantees an indisputable performance of 72 hours for the small and medium box and 96 hours for the largest size. A 30 days shipping case, which could act as a mobile vaccine station, is expected to come soon.

The used nanotechnology with its minuscule pores in the carbon silica delays the transfer of heat or cold with which the Thermo-Lok panels obtain a R-value of 40. Phase-changing material shifts from a liquid to a solid state or vice versa at pre-set temperatures, allowing different combinations of the colour coded E-packs or pillow pouches to satisfy any specific temperature range.

With the Greenbox temperature sensitive products can be transported over longer distances and during a longer time without the necessity of refrigerated transport and eliminating the need for couriers services or overnight transport.
