Sonoco ThermoSafe Introduces Recyclable Parcel Shippers In U.S. Sonoco ThermoSafe, a business unit of Sonoco, has in- troduced new EOS line of fully curbside recyclable tem- perature-controlled parcel shippers in the United States. The company has developed the EOS line to provide life science and perishable clients with an efficient curbside recyclable system. According to the company, many competing insulated packaging products claim curbside recyclability but use inner pellets, panels and liner coatings that cannot be sep- arated or sorted and become unrecyclable as-is at munic- ipal recycling facilities (MRFs). Sonoco has used 100 percent post-industrial and pre-consumer paper fibre to produce EOS line of tempera- ture controlled parcel shippers. Available in several sizes, the EOS line of curbside recyclable temperature-con- trolled parcel shippers will be initially supplied to the cus- tomers in the U.S. “It takes a company as experienced as Sonoco in pa- per manufacturing, thermal insulation and recycling man- agement to create a product like EOS,” said Sonoco Ther- moSafe Segment Director Ron Haub. “When global life science and food/perishables companies see Sonoco’s name on a curbside recyclability claim, they know it can be trusted.”
