The product story

Same EPS.Completely different end.

EPS has earned its place in cold chain for good reason. It is cost-effective. It performs across a wide range of temperatures. It ships, stores, and packs out reliably at high volume. These are not small things.

SteadyPac EPS starts with that same proven material. Then it introduces a proprietary biodegradable additive into the resin. When the cooler reaches a biologically active landfill, microorganisms interact with the molecular structure of the polystyrene. The same anaerobic conditions that break down organic waste break down the EPS.

The result is 92% biodegradation over four years, tested under ASTM D5511 standards. No change to performance. No change to cost. A completely different end of life.*

Key benefits

Four reasons your team will choose it.

01

Pre-validated and documented

Not just a cooler, a validated solution with a documentation package behind it. ISTA-certified thermal testing data, validation reports and pack-out diagrams are available on request. Your procurement team gets what they need. Your auditor gets what they ask for.

02

The economics of standard EPS

SteadyPac EPS is priced at the same level as conventional EPS coolers. There is no premium for the biodegradable additive. Sustainability and cost control are not a trade-off here.

03

Consistent at scale

Manufactured across five locations. Same specification on every unit. Whether the order is 500 coolers or 500,000, the performance is identical and the documentation matches. For high-volume operations, consistency is not a nice-to-have.

04

No change to your waste stream

No special recycling program. No new process for your team or your end customer. The cooler goes into the existing waste stream, and in a biologically active landfill, the additive does the rest. 92% biodegradation over four years, ASTM D5511.*

Built for

A solution that works wherever EPS works.

SteadyPac EPS fits into any operation that currently relies on standard EPS, without changing anything about how that operation runs.

High-volume, last-mile, cost-sensitive.

SteadyPac EPS delivers the economics your procurement team needs and the end-of-life story your ESG team is increasingly being asked to provide. Pre-validated documentation simplifies the fill workflow.

01

No cost premium. The same price as conventional EPS, sustainability without the line-item.

02

Simpler fill workflow. Pre-validated documentation streamlines high-volume fills.

03

An ESG answer. A documented biodegradable end-of-life for the EPS you already use.

How it's built
