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.

Food & Drink Business

Australian tech startup, Fair Supply, has developed a world-first supply chain tariff calculator, which the company says is set to transform how businesses understand and respond to the economic fallout of global tariffs.

Australia’s supermarket and grocery sector generated over $139 billion in revenue in 2023, dominated by Woolworths Group and Coles Group. But industry expert, Chelsea Ford, says emerging brands are being forced to shut up shop due to a lack of funding, making it nearly impossible to compete with the growing dominance of private-label products.

With only 6.5 per cent of Australians eating their recommended daily serve of veggies, it’s fair to say that many consumers see fresh produce more as a chore – a bland, healthy box to tick – than something to enjoy. But Perfection Fresh says it is on a mission to change the game, turning vegetables into vibrant flavour sensations and making fresh food the most exciting thing on people’s plate.
