Published November 15th, 2019.
So far in 2019, TemperPack's roster of clients has helped divert over 4.7 million pounds of single-use plastic from entering landfills.
We think that’s huge. We’re excited to announce it and in honor of America Recycles Day, we want to take a minute to explain exactly what that means, and help other companies better understand what their own impact could be.
Breaking Down 4.7+ Million
What's in a number?
4.7 million pounds is a tough amount to fathom. To better understand it, we’ve pulls some key numbers below.
21 Blue Whales
4.7 million pounds is the equivalent of twenty-one Pacific blue whales. That's moby dickulous.
2 Sequoia Trees
Or the same weight as nearly 2 sequoia trees. These 275-foot tall and 102-foot circumference trees have branches that are almost 7 feet in diameter.
Total Volume
In terms of the actual amount of space that is, we’ve helped eliminate 1,743,705 cubic feet of material from landfills! That’s roughly the equivalent of 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
We can do better than plastic.
We are on a mission to eliminate EPS coolers from the packaging world. These coolers will live in landfills for thousands of years.

Our plant-based packaging material, ClimaCell, offers similar thermal performance to EPS, is made from renewable resources, and is curbside recyclable. We are diverting landfill waste with every package we send.
