Your patients choose health.
Your packaging should deliver it.

Every specialty medication you ship represents someone's path to wellness — yet traditional EPS and Polystyrene foam packaging pollutes the very environment, they're trying to heal in.

Every Second Impact

Every minute, nearly 12 non-recyclable EPS foam coolers hit the landfill from GLP-1 shipments alone—highlighting the urgent need for Pharma to move to sustainable thermal shippers1.

EPS coolers hit landfills

Will Never Biodegrade

EPS and Polystyrene foam coolers stay in a landfill forever—period. They don’t break down, and the chasing-arrow recycling symbol often printed on them is misleading2.

Microplastics

EPS pollution is widespread, contaminating beaches and coastlines globally. EPS pellets have been found in the stomachs of wildlife and floating in oceans3.

Community Health

Benzene is heavily used in polystyrene resin production and is a known carcinogen linked to leukemia and other blood disorders. Styrene, a key building block, is also classified as “reasonably anticipated to cause cancer.” Both are emitted at low levels near EPS facilities, posing risks to workers and nearby communities4.

  1. References - 1 in 8 American adults (about 32.8 million people) report GLP-1 use according to a June 26, 2025 article by Managed Healthcare Executive publication. We have estimated 20% of GLP-1s scripts are shipped via mail-order pharmacies.
  2. References - EPS is not considered curbside recyclable by the standards set by How2Recycle, the FTC Green Guides, or the state of California, Colorado, and Oregon according to their recent recyclability studies. Less than 1% of U.S. curbside recycling programs accept EPS according to the EPS Industry Alliance map, and the recycling symbol on EPS packaging inserts is misleading and is non-compliant with CA SB 343 labeling requirements.

  4. References - According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), Pentane and Benzene are heavily used in polystyrene resin production as blowing agents and are a known carcinogen linked to leukemia and other blood disorders. Styrene, a key building block, is also classified as “reasonably anticipated to cause cancer. Small residual amounts of benzene and polystyrene can remain in EPS, a chemical known to cause cancer. When EPS is broken during unpacking or broken down to place in a garbage bin, dust and residual amounts may migrate causing harmful particles to be released and inhaled. Prop 65 lists both benzene and polystyrene
