As a producer of sustainable packaging solutions and systems, Sealed Air Corporation is playing a role in providing the essential packaging solutions needed to help customers in the fight against Covid-19.

Sealed Air is supplying customers with packaging solutions, including custom-fabricated shipping boxes, and automated packaging and bagging systems. The company is also supporting vaccine distribution and administration by offering a complete range of temperature assurance materials that enable distribution of medical equipment, face coverings and test kits. It can also be used in packaging vials that require a cold supply chain, including during the critical last mile of delivery.

Sealed Air is introducing a new innovation called TemPreserve KF, which will reduce total cost of ownership and bring additional sustainability benefits.

TemPreserve KF is a customisable thermal polyurethane packaging that, along with a coolant, helps maintain required temperatures (ultra-cold, cold or hot) for the specific length of time needed during transit.

“We are proud to offer customers a full suite of packaging solutions as they prioritise getting the right equipment, test kits, and vaccines to the world’s population as quickly and safely as possible,” says Sergio Pupkin, Sealed Air’s chief growth and strategy officer.

Sealed Air has produced packaging solutions for the health care industry for more than 30 years, and is well equipped to support health care packaging solutions throughout the entire cold chain and logistics cycle, including the last mile of delivery.

The company operates two temperature assurance labs that focus on the design and testing of products that protect temperature-sensitive and perishable items for the life sciences and food industries.

Located in Singapore and at Sealed Air’s global corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, these International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) Standard 20 certified labs can support customers globally.

Across the company’s global footprint are more than a dozen labs and thermal transport laboratories certified by ISTA, as well as 42 testing locations worldwide that design, test and certify packaging.

End Food Waste Australia (EFWA) and Hort Innovation have launched a new research program to tackle the challenges of harvest surplus and losses on-farm – a $2.5 billion opportunity for vegetable growers.

The federal government has confirmed it will not proceed with the Tax Laws Amendment (Incentivising Food Donations to Charitable Organisations) Bill 2024, saying the legislation contains “deficiencies that compromise its policy intent”, even as food insecurity remains at record levels across Australia.

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem.
