SUSTAINABILITY BEGINS WITH DESIGN
Our Design Process
PHASE 0:
Design Research
Sustainable packaging and print design research involves in-depth exploration and analysis of various aspects related to your brand & sustainable packaging, including materials, manufacturing processes, lifecycle assessments, consumer behavior, and regulatory frameworks
Our team is dedicated to understanding the environmental impacts of different packaging materials and techniques, seeking alternatives that reduce waste, conserve resources, and minimize carbon footprints. We investigate innovative technologies, such as biodegradable materials, compostable packaging, or bio-based polymers, to identify their viability and effectiveness.
PHASE 1:
Design Exploration
Our team partners with you to embark on a creative journey to identify and develop sustainable design solutions through exploring various materials, technologies, and approaches that align with your budget & sustainability principles. During this phase, our designers experiment with different concepts, create to scale prototypes, evaluate their environmental impact through LCA tools, and assess their feasibility in your supply chain.
PHASE 2:
Design Refinement
In the sustainable design refinement phase, designers focus on further developing and improving the chosen design concepts through a series of testing and enhancements. This stage involves detailed analysis and rigorous evaluation of the design’s sustainability performance. Through continuous collaboration with your team, refinement and optimization, sustainable design solutions are honed to maximize their positive impact while minimizing any negative environmental consequences.
PHASE 3:
Design Implementation
Sustainable design implementation is the final phase in the circular design process that involves bringing the optimized design concepts into reality. This phase includes translating the design into production processes and integrating sustainability principles throughout the manufacturing, distribution, and usage phases.
Our Design team works with our manufacturing team to ensure the efficient sourcing of sustainable materials and the adoption of eco-friendly production techniques. This phase also includes strategies for education and communication, raising awareness among consumers about the environmental benefits of the product and encouraging their active participation in sustainable behaviors.
KEEP RECYCLING COOL
TempSafe™ Cellulose
Cold Chain Packaging
This cellulose insulation utilizes clean post-industrial Double Lined Kraft (DLK) in their manufacturing process. The Kraft laminate used to cover the top and bottom is made from clean recycled content and combined, are both curbside recyclable*.
- Ease of Use: Two-piece recyclable insulation makes assembly fast and easy for increased productivity.
- Optimized Packaging: Ships & stores flat, taking up less space on a truck or in the warehouse
- Variety: Available is a full range of stock sizes and can be custom made to adapt to any size need.
- Brand Awareness: Custom sizes can be printed on the material for a specialized value-added offering
*may not be recyclable in your area & OCC-E certification and passed repulpability standards and requirements by Western Michigan University. Copies of these certifications are available upon request.

Orora offers various 2-panel sets in 8”, 10”, 12”, 14”, 16”, and 18” coolers with your option of a 0.5”, 1.0”, or 1.5” thickness. Lead times are 2-4 weeks depending on seasonality.
R-Value VS K-Value
R-value is the rate of thermal resistance to prevent heat loss in a specific material or insulation. A higher R-value associates with a greater probability to prevent heat loss. K-value is a rate of thermal conductivity that is determined by dividing the insulation thickness by its known R-value. When the R-value is high, the corresponding K-value will be low.

EASY TO RECYCLE
TempSafe™ Cellulose
Disposal Instructions
The cellulose insulation is manufactured using clean double-lined kraft (DLK). For proper recycling requirements in your area, please consult with your local municipality for further instructions.
- No separation of cellulose and Kraft paper is required for these panels to be placed in the recycling bin
- It is recommended that the cellulose panels are removed from the corrugate box to ensure proper sorting at your local material recycling facility
- Both the corrugated box and the cellulose panels are certified for curbside recyclability by Western Michigan University, but are not compostable
- During the re-pulping process, the cellulose and Kraft remains are preserved and used as clean, recycled content for new paper-based recycled products
