The UK-based Lions Prep meal plan service has announced its use of Ranpak cold chain packaging solutions in a bid to prioritize recycling and sustainability, while still prioritizing convenience.
The meal subscription service decided to use the RecyCold climaliner to replace its denim blankets, which is paper-based and capable of being recycled through curbside collection. The paper-based packaging is rated to keep products within its ideal temperature range for up to 48-hours to ensure it can meet the performance needs of Lions Prep.
Procurement Manager for Lions Prep Pia Raffaela spoke on the use of Ranpak packaging solutions saying, "RecyCold climaliner keeps our meals cooler, and because it’s compostable it is better for the planet and our brand. Ranpak was very helpful in helping us find this solution and our existing box now holds more."
