Given the need to meet patient safety while continuing to advance toward sustainability goals, it’s understandable that biopharma companies are busy researching sustainable temperature-control packaging.

What level of readiness are companies at in terms of switching to “greener” packaging? Pelican BioThermal, provider of temperature-controlled packaging, released results of its 2020 Biopharma Cold Chain Logistics Sustainability Survey. According to opinion leaders in biopharma cold chain, the biopharma industry is increasing its pace to prioritize sustainability in business and operational strategies. Nearly half of all respondents already always factor sustainability into cold chain purchasing decisions.

“Biopharma companies work every day to manufacture and distribute drug products all over the world, and their primary focus is on the safety and efficacy of these life-saving products,” said David Williams, President of Pelican BioThermal. “As biopharma companies begin to accelerate work on their sustainability goals, our survey shows they expect the same of their supply chain partners. The cold chain industry needs to continue its focus on improving green thinking to keep pace with its biopharma clients.”
