Model Parameters
• Nesting Efficiency: 5:1 nested density (600 units/pallet vs 120 units/pallet EPS).
• Inbound Truck Capacity: 26 full pallet positions per standard 53-ft dry van.
• Regulatory Impact: Avoids $0.30/unit single-use plastic EPR tax penalties.

Three-Way Packaging Comparison
| Operational Parameter | RENW Fiber Box | EPS Foam Cooler | Waxed Corrugated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pallet Nesting Density | 5:1 nested base & lid | 1:1 rigid blocks (storing air) | Flat-pack (requires manual assembly) |
| Warehouse Floor Footprint | Recovers up to 80% floor space | Consumes 80%+ space with empty air | Moderate footprint; assembly staging needed |
| Inbound Freight Ratio | 1 truck replaces 5 EPS trucks | Paying full linehaul to truck air | Standard dry van freight |
| Thermal Hold (0°C–2°C) | 5+ days with wet ice / gel packs | 5+ days (standard benchmark) | 1–2 days (high risk of soggy melt) |
| Moisture & Ice Integrity | Alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) barrier | Waterproof, but brittle beads crack | Wax cracks; box collapses under melt |
| Recyclability & Circularity | 100% Curbside Paper (PAP 21) | Landfill / microplastic pollution | Non-recyclable wax; repulping rejected |
| EPR & Single-Use Plastic Tax | Zero penalty; paper stream credit | High plastic surcharges & bans | Landfill disposal surcharges |
Technical Validation & Lab Data
Tested under real cold-chain stress.
Molded fiber is often stereotyped as weak when wet. We engineered our multi-ply fiber matrix with an internal organic barrier that maintains rigidity across 5+ days of melting ice and 95% relative humidity.
ac_unit ISTA 7D
5+ Day Chilled Hold
Maintains payload temperature between 0°C and 2°C for over 120 hours using standard wet ice and gel refrigerant packs.
shield Zero PFAS
AKD Liquid Barrier
Integrated organic alkyl ketene dimer barrier prevents water penetration and condensation softening without fluorochemicals.
compress ASTM D642
100 kg Crush Load
High top-load compressive strength supports full 5-high pallet stacking in refrigerated trailers without corner blowout.
recycling PAP 21
Curbside Recyclable
Repulps cleanly in standard municipal paper streams. No wax stripping, no unboxing friction, and zero landfill penalty taxes.
Need lane-specific thermal modeling or ASTM drop-test certificates?
We provide certified thermal decay curves, coolant packout ratios, and food safety compliance declarations for quality assurance and regulatory review.
