Benefits of technology

[0024]The present invention provides significant improvements over environmentally damaging petroleum-based packaging products and over multi-piece packaging products. The packing product of the claimed invention is biodegradable and in some embodiments is compostable or water-soluble. The packing product of the present invention addresses needs expressed by pharmaceutical and home meal kit delivery services. Customers in the home meal kit and pharmaceutical spaces have expressed a need for a more environmentally sustainable cold-chain solution as these services wish to move from the use of EPS coolers. The packing product of the claimed invention provides an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution in applications where temperature control is critical and sustainability is a priority. Performance is critical in home mea

Problems solved by technology

There are limitations to these traditional packing materials.
EPS molded packing material or other form fitting packing material, such as shaped and folded corrugated cardboard, address the issue of an item shifting within a container, but have their own drawbacks.
However, it may be difficult to design an efficient and sufficiently strong folding structure for the cardboard, i.e., one that may be produced and folded quickly and inexpensively.
Additionally, folded cardboard packing material does not provide sufficient insulating properties and has an insufficient R value for shipping items that must be kept at or below a certain temperature in transit.
Molded EPS packing material may have better insulating properties than cardboard but is non-recyclable and is environmen
