Sealed Air Supplies Sun Basket with Recyclable Packaging for Recipe Deliveries


CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sealed Air, a global leader in protective e-commerce packaging materials, is providing sustainable box liners to leading healthy, national meal kit delivery service Sun Basket.   

Sealed Air TempGuardtm insulated box liner

Known for its commitment to using organic produce and sustainable ingredients as well as recyclable packaging, Sun Basket also wanted new insulation materials for its shipping boxes while retaining its commitment to 100 percent recyclable packaging. Sun Basket chose Sealed Air's TempGuardtm solution, a curbside recyclable box liner, to insulate its perishable products.

TempGuardtm thermal insulation is made from recycled paper tested to ISTA 20 certification standards to ensure contents maintain proper temperatures for one- and two-day ground shipping. The padded material also cushions items during handling and transit.

The flexible TempGuardtm liner is one inch thinner than the material Sun Basket used previously. Sealed Air's more efficient product allowed Sun Basket to switch to a shipping box that is nearly 25 percent smaller than its original box, which greatly reduces Sun Basket's carbon footprint.

"We are pleased to have a fully curbside recyclable solution in our portfolio that meets Sun Basket's temperature assurance requirements," said Susan Bell, Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at Sealed Air. "Because sustainability is a key business driver for our clients and online shoppers are requesting environmentally friendly packaging from retailers, Sealed Air is expending R&D efforts not only on improving the recyclability of its existing packaging materials but also creating new bio-based packaging products derived from natural sources."

"At Sun Basket, sustainability is one of our core values, and one of the ways we approach that is by ensuring that all of our packaging is recyclable or compostable. We proactively work with suppliers as products are being developed," said Michael Golub, Head of Strategic Initiatives for Sun Basket. "We learned about Sealed Air's 100% recyclable paper insulation before it came to market, and because of that we are now the first in the meal kit business to use it. We are excited about this insulation because, among other things, it made the recycling process even easier for our customers while at the same time reducing the size of our box, for both a sustainability and customer experience win."
