Supply Chain Sustainability Advance from Topa Thermal shown at Bio Supply Management Alliance (BSMA) Europe
The life sciences industry learns how a new concept in thermal packaging - °Connex OVERWRAP – is reducing the CO2 impact of pharmaceutical shipping
Voorhout, NL – [5 October, 2022] – Topa Thermal was honoured to take part in last week’s 7th BSMA Europe Conference on September 29, 2022, in La Hulpe, Belgium. The annual event highlights innovations in the life sciences supply chain. Themes for 2022 included sustainability and improving the impact on CO2 emissions.
Nominations for this year’s BSMA Sustainability Supply Chain Award included Topa Thermal’s new thermal packaging system for transporting bulk pharmaceuticals. °Connex OVERWRAP is a new insulated shipping system designed to reduce CO2 impact and offers advantages for biopharmaceutical manufacturers and 3rd party distributors, particularly when using airline networks.
“Compared to existing temperature-controlled packaging systems on the market, °Connex OVERWRAP has equal performance, but is much smaller and lighter ”, says Maarten Kleverlaan, technical solution manager, Topa Thermal.
Richard Harrop, Topa Thermal’s product director explains: “Because of its size-efficient design, essentially you only need 4 planes instead of 5 to transport the same amount of product. It’s therefore much more CO2 efficient and of course saves on freight costs too.”
