27 Jan 2022 --- Packaging Technology Group (PTG), a leading provider of thermal packaging solutions and services for the biopharmaceutical and life sciences sector, is announcing the cold chain industry’s first extended-duration, curbside recyclable thermal shipper. This new addition to PTG's Truetemp Naturals Line maintains 2-8°C for 72 hours. PackagingInsights speaks with Kelly Cinelli, director of sales and marketing at PTG. “To date, achieving 72 hours of thermal protection while maintaining 2-8°C without using vacuum insulated panels (VIP) or polyurethane (PUR) has not been done in our industry,” she says. PTG’s team continues to roll out new Truetemp Naturals products at various temperature ranges and durations. The newest innovative design is a cost-effective alternative to VIP and PUR shippers, which are not typically made with environmentally sustainable materials.
