  • the present invention relates to reusable composite containers for cold chain packaging.
  • Other aspects of the invention will become apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the present specification.
  • Cold chain packaging allows temperature control of a payload (e.g., perishable goods) during shipping and distribution of a package.
  • Containers used for cold chain packaging may be composed of a variety of materials including expanded polystyrene (EPS).
  • EPS expanded polystyrene
  • EPS is thermally insulating and lightweight but easily damaged. Forces exerted upon an EPS container during shipping and handling can result in damage to the container as well as the payload housed inside. Further, when an EPS container harbouring a temperature-sensitive payload is damaged, the container must be opened and the payload transferred to a new container, which subjects the payload to potentially harmful temperature fluctuations.
  • the relative fragility of EPS also leads many package recipients to consider EPS containers as single-use containers, resulting in their mass disposal and waste.
  • Senders and recipients of temperature-sensitive goods may desire improved thermal insulation over that provided by EPS alone. This is particularly important for perishable goods where even small temperature variations can impair the activity of the product (e.g., pharmaceuticals) or reduce its shelf-life (e.g., seafood).
  • a composite cold chain packaging container which relative to non-composite containers improves the insulation properties of the overall container to maintain a constant or nearly constant temperature for the package payload.
  • a composite cold chain packaging container which relative to non-composite containers improves the durability of the overall container allowing it to be returnable and reusable.
  • a composite cold chain packaging container which provides a lightweight solution to ship temperature-sensitive goods.
  • a composite cold chain packaging container which uses expanded polystyrene (EPS) in an inner container to protect the desired package, and an outer foam container to protect the EPS inner container.

  • the composite container may be used to ship perishable goods, and during shipping, the perishable goods may be maintained at a nearly constant temperature below the ambient temperature using cooling means.
  • the container may be shipped by a sending party and received by a receiving party, and the receiving party may return the container to the sending party after receiving the container. The sending party may then reuse the container to ship perishable goods.
  • At least one of the inner container and the outer container may be integral. At least one of the inner container and the outer container may comprise a lid, a non-removable portion, and a removable portion. At least one of the inner container and the outer container may be shaped as a cube or rectangular cuboid comprising a lid, a bottom panel, and four side panels, and wherein the removable portion consists of one of the side panels.
