Cold chainperformance.Curbside-recyclable.

Your cold chain shouldn’t end in a landfill. EarthWise is OCC-E certified curbside-recyclable, ISTA validated to 130+ hours, and available for refrigerated and CRT shipments, patients just put it in the recycling bin and move on.

The problem

Every shipper you send is the packaging your patient throws away.

Most temperature-controlled packaging can’t be recycled. It goes in the trash, every shipment, every patient, every site. EarthWise was built for companies that need the cold chain to perform and need the packaging to disappear cleanly at the end.

01

What they can't recycle, they won't forget.

Your patient, pharmacy, or clinic opens the box and is left with packaging they can't recycle.

02

It doesn’t fit your
sustainability targets.

Your sustainability targets now include cold chain. A curbside-recyclable cold chain solution that belongs in your sustainability report.

03

EPR fees are
adding up.

Extended Producer Responsibility fees are live in the EU and expanding to the UK and North America. Non-recyclable packaging carries growing per-tonne liability. Getting ahead now beats retrofitting later.

Comparison vs. publicly stated validated duration of the nearest paper-based recyclable alternative.

The single biggest difference

Claiming recyclable is one thing. Proving performance is another.

EarthWise systems are designed with thermal imaging and real-world lane data, paired with ISTA 7D and 7E validation, to perform where it actually matters.

Who it's built for

For every organization whose package ends at a patient’s door.

EarthWise is built for last-mile cold chain, where the product reaches an end user who has no loading dock, no waste program, and no place to send non-recyclable packaging.

The anatomy

Engineered to recycle. Layer by layer.

Every layer is paper-based, OCC-E certified, and curbside-recyclable. Scroll to take the recyclable shell apart, liner, insulation, and the radiant-barrier upgrade.

Exploded view of the EarthWise recyclable shipper
Refrigerant

Drain-friendly refrigerant

Gel packs on the top, bottom, and sides serve as the thermal energy source, drain at the sink when done. No special collection. Available in multiple formats to fit your shipment profile.

Liner

Recycled cellulose liner

OCC-E certified paper-based liner and cellulose fiber, 90%+ renewable content. The whole shell goes in the blue bin.

Packaging

Recyclability printed on the box

Clear curbside recycling instructions on every package, so the patient never has to guess.

Refrigerant

Water blanket

Wraps the payload and works as both the energy source and thermal buffer, absorbing and releasing temperature to protect the product through the lane. Drain at the sink when done.

Liner

Foil liner, radiant-barrier option

An optional upgrade to the cellulose liner, a reflective foil layer that blocks radiant heat transfer for lanes that need more performance without giving up curbside recyclability.

Choose your format

Five validated sizes. Need another? We’ll make it.

From a 2L single-unit to a 30L bulk format, all five share the same validated system, cellulose liner, and ISTA qualification. Need something outside that range? We’ll qualify it to meet your requirements.

What the clients are saying

“Switching our home-delivery line to EarthWise removed the number-one driver of patient disposal complaints, and took foam out of our warehouse entirely.”

Director of Operations, Top-10 U.S. specialty pharmacy

Curbside recyclable

The recyclable cold chain your Scope 3 can count.

ESG buyers need something to put in the model, not a story to tell. EarthWise gives your sustainability team certifiable claims for the annual report and defensible answers for the supplier scorecard.

OCC-E Certified

Curbside recyclable in markets where the standard applies. No disposal burden on the patient, the pharmacy, or the site coordinator.

EPR Ready

Paper-based construction reduces your fee liability under EPR programs in the EU, Canada, and US states. As plastic foam regulations tighten, EarthWise keeps you ahead of them.

Scope 3 Impact

Switching from EPS to EarthWise reduces your Scope 3 Category 1 packaging emissions under the GHG Protocol. Documentation available on request for supplier scorecards and annual reports.

Remove the product. The liner and carton come apart easily, no tools, no special instructions, no foam to wrestle with.

02

Empty & flatten
