The patterns of perishable product consumption vary according to season, and Christmas is the greatest proof of this, with a highly defined profile.
Cold Chain archivos - Tempack Cold Chain S2D
Fresh products takes up increasingly more shopping basket space; efficient cold distribution marks the difference in competitiveness.
A fulfilment centre is where e-commerce logistics are completed. To properly understand it, we first need to know the difference.
In this post, we consider the impact that an efficient cold chain has on reducing food waste.
Times change. Going to buy at a physical store and taking the product home under your arm is something we associate with the baby boomer generation, or even the most nostalgic members of the Generation X. Whether due to e-commerce, the pandemic or the initiatives of the mega corporations, the fact is that we are already used to having our shipments delivered to our home at no extra cost and as soon as possible.
In certain sectors of activity, the temperature of the goods that are produced, distributed and sold makes the difference between success and failure. Thus, isothermal boxes and containers for these sectors are an essential lifeline.
Temperature-controlled shipments have become standard for freight traffic, both for large-scale transportation and end-client deliveries.
We have been developing packaging solutions for the cold chain for 25 years — that’s 25 years at your side, guaranteeing the integrity of your temperature-sensitive products. Perhaps the greatest testimony to the know-how we have accumulated since our inception is the fact that Tempack has managed to evolve and stay ahead of the market. Beginning in Barcelona in 1996, we positioned ourselves in a niche that had barely been exploited: that of maintaining the traceability of thermolabile pharmaceutical products in the cold chain through passive packaging systems. Years later, we applied all the knowledge we had acquired to offer solutions in the biotech and e-commerce markets, diversifying our activity.
The increase in the production and consumption of packaging materials involves a growing waste output at the end of its life. Recycling has been recognized as a rational necessity, compared to alternative traditional deposit in landfill or incineration. In some European countries this is becoming a “legal” necessity. In this sense, GREENING is one of the main trends in new Packaging Systems. What is really this “greening”?
The Ucommerce is pushing the Fresh Home Delivery Logistics in new directions. To increase the value, the logistic service is changing. Logistics firms need to be faster (“speed-to-market”), predictable and much more focused on the last mile. Deliveries are required in 2 hours and to be served after working hours, including Sunday. The Ucommerce market will require to speed the logistics process and to be more innovative.
