WHAT MAKES SUPASO PACKAGING UNIQUE
100% STYRIAN: OUR EFFORTS IN THE GREEN HEART OF AUSTRIA
A CO₂ Comparison of Our Packaging
Our SUPASO packaging systems for refrigerated shipping are sturdy, affordable, and feature a core made of cellulose insulation derived from 100% recycled paper. myclimate Austria calculated their CO₂ emissions for us using a Product Carbon Footprint assessment in accordance with ISO 14067. The calculation covers the entire life cycle (“cradle-to-grave”): raw material extraction, production, transport to the customer, and disposal via waste paper recycling.
The result: Our insulation elements with a kraft paper outer wrapping generate 0.298 kg CO₂e per kg of material. An ecoliner measuring 35 × 35 × 35 cm thus amounts to approximately 0.55 kg CO₂e per unit. A polystyrene box of the same size emits about 4 to 6 times as much, depending on the recycled content of the EPS—that is, about 2.7 kg CO₂e per unit. This corresponds to a reduction of about 75 to 83%.
EASY Disposal, EFFICIENT RECYCLING
For the outer cover of our insulating elements, we have developed a particularly robust, moisture-resistant Kraft paper cover. Thus, our insulating elements consist of more than 97% paper and can rely on the established and efficient recycling cycle for paper.
But not everything that appears environmentally friendly at first glance can be efficiently recycled. To ensure that our insulating elements can be easily disposed of in waste paper and recycled in the paper cycle, we subjected our products to a recycling test by the Papiertechnische Stiftung. The result is a certified excellent recyclability in standard mills.
