Packaging firm 2nd Level Global Solutions has launched a range of 100% paper, recyclable and water-resistant thermal pallet cover designed to provide robust temperature protection in transit.
Solaris is marketed as an alternative to plastic thermal covers, addressing the growing concern over the environmental impact of waste in the supply chain.
The Solaris range includes four products – Solaris 5, providing up to 7.5 hours of protection at 40°C; Solaris 10: A more robust version with 12 insulation layers, extending temperature protection to 9 hours; Solaris 25: A free-standing cover with 20 insulation layers, extending temperature protection to 10 hours; and: Solaris S20: Made from structural corrugated cardboard and designed to enable loads of up to 500kg stacked on top.
Commercial director, Mark Hammond, said: “Plastic thermal covers, commonly used in global shipping, generate significant waste, with a large proportion ending up in landfills. These covers often fail to be recycled due to the complexity of their composite silver foil and plastic material composition. Solaris, on the other hand, is constructed entirely from paper and is 100% recyclable, providing a greener solution without compromising the integrity of temperature-sensitive cargo.”
