Wageningen researchers help PostNL to develop coolant packaging

Wageningen UR has helped the Dutch post company PostNL to develop coolant packaging that will enable supermarkets to make cost and energy efficient deliveries to their customers. Fresh produce can be delivered to customers at the right temperature, safeguarding shelf life and quality.
The coolant packaging is made from a high-insulation material, and contains exactly the right number of cooling elements to ensure that a pack of meat, fish, dairy, vegetables and/or fruit is delivered to a customer at a maximum temperature of 7ºC. The supermarket no longer needs to use refrigerated transport, making the deliveries cost and energy efficient (News Release Wageningen UR, 9 July 2014).
