The product story

Cold protection built for the end of the journey.

The last mile of a pharmaceutical shipment often ends at someone’s home. The gel pack inside that box ends up in a kitchen trash can or, ideally, drained into a sink. TempAid’s EarthWise Gel Packs are formulated so the gel can be safely drained before disposal and the film recycled, reducing packaging waste and making end-of-journey disposal simpler for patients and caregivers.

The performance credentials match the sustainability intent: tested to not leak and last, and flash-freeze capable for fast turnaround operations. They’re designed to freeze flat and keep their shape while frozen, delivering consistent temperature control across the shipment duration without bulging, shifting, or compromising the pack-out.

Who it's for

Who it’s for.

Direct-to-patient specialty pharmacy

Medications shipped to patients at home need a refrigerant the recipient can dispose of without a hazmat concern. The drain-friendly formulation removes ambiguity and reduces patient-facing friction at unboxing.

Home health & hub-and-spoke delivery

High-volume patient delivery operations need the product to arrive in safe condition every time, with a gel pack patients and caregivers can dispose of easily once the delivery is complete.

Clinical trial home dosing programs

Decentralized trials need investigational product to arrive at a patient’s home safely, with a gel pack that’s just as easy to dispose of, or send back, for kit return and collection.
