Composite bag for chilled and frozen
Swedish start-up company iFoodbag has signed a global production agreement with packaging specialist Mondi to enable easy online shopping for temperature-controlled goods.
The eponymous iFoodbag product is expected to transform online grocery shopping, claims its developer. And, following the deal with Mondi, it will now be available globally, offering a solution to the logistical challenges of chilled and frozen goods distribution.
The iFoodbag, for which several patents are pending, is made from a novel paper-based composite material. The result is a temperature-controlled packaging system that can protect chilled and frozen goods for up to 24 hours, subject to certain temperature constraints.
Using this approach, retailers are claimed to be able ship temperature-controlled foodstuffs in conventional vehicles instead of refrigerated trucks, reducing their distribution costs.
