Connex OVERWRAP thermal insulation container reduces CO₂ emissions by 30% and freight costs by 40%

The Connex OVERWRAP is made of sustainable and reusable materials. This thermal insulation container delivers the same performance as a normal insulation container, but is smaller, lighter and has a higher capacity. The lightweight Connex OVERWRAP reduces CO₂ emissions by 30% and freight costs by 40%. 25% more products can be shipped on each plane plate. And at 55% it offers the highest loadable volume ratio.

The Connex OVERWRAP thermal insulation container from Topa Thermal is the world's first thermal packaging solution composed of combined insulation and cooling walls for shipping pharmaceutical products! The BSMA (Bio Supply Management Alliance Europe) encourages companies in the biopharmaceutical supply chain to ensure efficient and sustainable access to life-saving medicines.
