Igloo, for example, was one of the first companies to embrace the reuse-recycle-reduce tagline with the release of RECOOL, a 100 percent biodegradable cooler in 2019. The Alkyl ketene dimer, a natural binding and waxing agent, makes this cooler from recycled paper pulp. RECOOL can preserve ice for up to 12 hours and is water-resistant for up to 5 days, despite the fact that paper is a fundamental component. Such a cost-effective approach will hinder market expansion in the near future.
Stringent environmental rules & regulations regarding the use of plastic.
Concerns about the environmental impact of plastic garbage have prompted governments worldwide to enact strict restrictions. For example, on June 26, 2020, the Indian government amended its Plastic Waste Management Norms. Standard tests are also carried out to ensure that packing systems can sustain the temperature range required by the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) standards for packaging, storage, and transportation of goods.
