Sustainable Packaging for Shipping Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceutical shipments demand reliable, temperature-controlled packaging, especially when shipping injectables, biologics, migraine medications, and other sensitive treatments. Whether your needs involve cold chain compliance, controlled room temperature (CRT 20–25°C) shipments, or general pharmaceutical delivery, Nature-Pack™ offers an eco-conscious alternative to traditional foam-based packaging.
Our flagship Biocooler® is a biobased, compostable insulated shipping solution engineered to support the critical 2–8°C temperature range, making it ideal for cold chain products. It also provides tested stability for shelf-stable pharmaceuticals requiring CRT transit, giving manufacturers flexibility across a wider product portfolio. It’s a smart choice for broader pharmaceutical logistics seeking sustainable materials.
Biocooler®: Packaging for Temperature-Sensitive Medications
Biocooler® is designed to serve as tertiary packaging for pharmaceutical manufacturers, specialty distributors, and clinical providers to hold enough medication for approximately 6–8 patients.
Common pharmaceutical shipping use cases include:
• Office-to-patient deliveries of temperature-sensitive treatments.
• Shipments to doctors’ offices, pharmacies, or specialty clinics.
• Clinical trial drug shipments requiring validated, small-batch temperature control.
• Specialty pharmacy fulfillment for chronic or rare disease therapies.
• Hospital and healthcare system supply chains distributing biologics and vaccines.
• Mail-order and direct-to-consumer prescriptions that need controlled shipping environments.
• Sample distribution from manufacturers to healthcare providers.
• Emergency response shipments of life-saving medications in disaster zones or remote areas.
• Veterinary vaccine and biologic distribution to clinics, farms, and animal hospitals.
Biocooler® undergoes qualification and validation testing to ISTA and international standards, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical packaging. Veterinary pharmaceuticals require precise temperature control.
Key Benefits of Biocooler® for Pharmaceuticals
- Maintains 2–8°C range for temperature-sensitive therapies.
- Lightweight and certified compostable.
- Made from non-GMO, bio-based materials.
- Reduces reliance on fossil-based packaging solutions.
- Pairs with Nature-Ice™ Gel Refrigerants for optimized cold retention.
- Certified to stringent third-party international standards for biobased content and disposal environments.
- Provides multiple end-of-life disposal options beyond composting, unlike EPS foam which has little to no global recycling infrastructure.
Whether you are managing cold chain therapies or just want to transition away from petroleum-based insulation, Nature-Pack™ provides a scalable, sustainable option for modern pharmaceutical packaging.
Proven Cold Chain Performance for Pharmaceutical Shipping
Pharmaceutical products move through varied climates and transit modes, from local ground shipments to international routes. Biocooler® is tested for performance in air, sea, and ground shipping that delivers stable results even when variables like route, climate, and duration shift.
Nature-Pack™ has performed thousands of simulated laboratory tests applied to real-world shipping conditions, demonstrating consistent thermal protection under extreme environments.
Supporting The Pharmaceutical Industry’s Push for Sustainability
Nature-Pack™ helps pharmaceutical companies meet both compliance and sustainability goals by offering compostable, high-performance insulation without compromising product integrity.
By replacing EPS, polyurethane, and other petroleum-based foams, Biocooler® enables companies to advance their corporate sustainability initiatives while maintaining regulatory compliance and cost efficiency.
