This means it can easily be used with a cheaper, thinner outer box if required, to which other systems simply cannot compete!<\/p>\n<p>Also, <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span>\u00ae doesn&#8217;t use any plastic, man-made fibres, animal products, polystyrene or any other product David Attenborough would be ashamed of&#8230;&#8230;it really could be the future for temperature controlled, environmentally friendly packaging!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><strong>So how does <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span>\u00ae work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Logistically, <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span>\u00ae is an entirely paper-based panel which arrives flat packed. It can be assembled in seconds and is a fully recyclable, compostable and biodegradable packaging solution designed to meet the growing needs for sustainable, Eco friendly packaging.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, the simple answer is &#8216;Science&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The longer answer is more complex. Through extensive in-house testing, we\u2019ve concluded that the <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span>\u00ae panels perform like an unventilated air gap.<\/p>\n<p>Air gaps are commonly implemented in the construction of buildings as a means of improving the overall insulation (U-Value) of homes and offices. The still or trapped air inside the air gap possesses exceptional insulative properties, which we can then give a &#8216;K&#8217; Value to. This represents the thermal conductivity of a material; that is, how easily energy (heat\/cold) passes across it. The lower the K Value number, the better the material.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span>\u00ae panels consist of a paper-based hexagonal structure sandwiched between two heavy duty paper liners. The hexagonal structure creates a rigid barrier of still air and divides the panels into multiple sealed air convection pockets. Since the panel is predominantly air with a relatively small content of paper, the overall thermal conductivity (K Value) of <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span>\u00ae is similar to that of still air. The smaller hexagonal sealed air pockets also minimise energy transfer via convection due to the restricted air movement.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, the K-values of <span class=\"ILfuVd\">Expanded Polystyrene<\/span> (EPS) are 0.030 W\/m.K. <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span>\u00ae boasts a K-value of 0.026 W\/m.K (temperature dependent). That makes it quite a development in the world of stale &#8216;me-too&#8217; packaging!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><strong>How does <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span>\u00ae perform?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Unlike our competitors, we don&#8217;t believe in quoting figures based on soft or easy temperature profiles just to win new business; doing this will only result in unhappy customers when the products don&#8217;t act as expected in an extreme temperature profile.<\/p>\n<p>To make sure our products work all the time, every time, we test using an extreme temperature profile set. This really shows how our products perform in the most extreme circumstances.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What does that mean?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We all know that the temperatures do not stay constant through a 24 hour period, they fluctuate as time goes on. The industry calls this &#8216;Temperature Profiling&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>At Hydropac, we use a &#8216;temperature profile&#8217; set to a constant temperature throughout the test, these are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Constant 30\u02dac for an exceptionally unlikely hot Summer&#8217;s day (<em>This would mean peaks at 40\u02dac at some points and Night time\u00a0temperature of 25\u02dac too!<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>Constant 25\u02dac for a very hot Summer day (<em>we can but dream.. but this too would mean an unlikely\u00a0day with peaks at 35\u02dac and a very sticky night<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>Constant 20\u02dac for an good average UK Summer day (Met Office data suggests t<em>his is a far more likely for the UK with peaks reaching 30\u02dac for a few hours<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>Constant 10\u02dac for an average winter&#8217;s day (This is a good average Winters day with lows of\u00a0 0\u02dac during the day likely)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Why do we do this?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We test all new products to evaluate their potential. If the product in question can perform and maintain a constant temperature during these extreme tests, imagine what it could do if we introduced a soft fluctuating profile!<\/p>\n<p>Our test data (available on the Technical Data tab) will highlight the number of ice packs per box used for these extreme test profiles. In reality, you will use a lot less for a typical day and likely less still once <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">\u00ae <\/span><\/strong>is filled with your food type.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">How can I dispose of <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span>\u00ae once I am finished with it?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Enviro<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Cool<\/span>\u00ae is 100% recyclable and should always be put into either domestic or commercial recycling bins to be recycled for re-use.
