CompactedCooler Development of a compactable and evacuable insulated container for frozen food shipping Food, especially chilled and frozen, is increasingly ordered online and must be shipped to customers while complying with the cold chain. The polystyrene or EPS boxes that are used nowadays for shipping of chilled and frozen goods, offer good technical properties, such as insulation or food safety, but have ecological disadvantages, not least because of the fossil raw materials. In order to improve the environmental balance of food transportation, the project is being developing an innovative packaging solution that consists largely of recyclable or bioplastics and uses insulating effects of a vacuum. In addition, an efficient return in terms of reusability is strived through a compactable design. Contact persons: M.
