Alternative Dry Ice Products

Thermal Custom Packaging Created Eco-Friendly Dry Ice for Packaging

— April 5, 2022 — Business
Thermal Custom Packaging revolutionizes the frozen food delivery industry with its green alternative to dry ice. The environmentally friendly food packaging item is safer and easier to use than its precursor.

The company created Phase Changing Material (PCM) to significantly reduce waste and maximize resource efficiency. While dry ice requires a lot of energy to store and is hazardous, the PCM changes from a solid to a liquid and vice versa at a precise temperature. They are made from salts, making them safe for the environment and safe for the consumer. Thermal Custom Packaging offers its non-toxic and reusable PCMs in two below freezing temperature variations: -16°C (3.2°F) and -21°C (-5.8°F). Moreover, PCMs are made from recyclable HDPE plastic.
