16 Jun 2022 --- Cascades is improving its meal box capabilities with a new isothermal packaging technology that is 20% more efficient than its current home delivery solution. The North American packaging supplier has also commissioned a new production facility in York, Pennsylvania, US, to support the production of this new solution. The northbox Xtend technology extends Cascades’ line of northbox isothermal packaging solutions. The composition of this meal box creates a moisture barrier that helps keep the insulation rigid. The packaging keeps food fresh during long transit times and in regions with higher temperatures and requires less ice.Designed with the circular economy in mind, this packaging solution is made of recycled cardboard and was determined to be recyclable by an external laboratory and prequalified by How2Recycle.
