Here's how our isothermal products help to preserve the environment while maintaining a high level of quality and performance.
Since its creation in 1990 Isovation has been involved in innovative eco-design, characterised by the range of solutions delivered flat and by the use of 100% recycled materials.
- Selection of low-impact materials :
- - Use of safe materials from an environmental and health viewpoint, particularly for substances targeted by REACH regulations.
- - Use of 100% recycled materials
- - Use of extruded polystyrene foam (XPS) : an environmental friendly insulation due to.
- - Its closed cell structure and insensitivity to water and steam.
- - Its resistance to freeze/thaw cycles.
- - Its insulating properties remaining stable over time.
- Reduction of resource use :
- - Efficiency of materials used to optimise performance (thermal conductivity) thickness / weight.
- - Simplification or elimination of some components of packaging solutions.
- - Optimisation of raw materials in order to reduce manufacturing waste.
- Optimisation of the product :
- - Manufacture of tailored solutions
- - Disassembly and re-use of parts in order to optimise the recycling of materials
- - Stability of materials used for sustainable solutions
- - Modular Solutions – optimising logistics
- Optimisation of production techniques :
- - Cutting of raw materials optimized, reducing manufacturing waste
- - Control of energy consumption in production
- - Fewer consumables used in production
- - Use of UV Ink – using less solvents
- - Industrial waste management resulting in cleaner consumables
- Distribution optimised :
- - Solutions delivered flat
- - Palleting optimised by bespoke solutions.
- - Use of alternative transportation (rail, river...)
- - Proximity logistics, turnkey delivery, synergy with local logistics stakeholders.
- Reducing the environmental impact in use :
- - Efficiency of materials used allows for a reduction of the number of Icepacksused per solution
- - Our custom-made solutions help to increase units delivered per pallet.
- - Autonomous Solutions : Use of non-refrigerated trucks
- Optimising the end of life :
- - Solutions XPS 100% recyclable and /or reusable solutions
- - Reduction of consumables used
- - Disassembly – re-use of parts, longer lifespan
- - Establishment of a system of product recovery for re-use
