Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced more sustainable packaging for 125,000 of its Invitrogen antibodies, transitioning from cold-chain to ambient temperature shipping. This change from the distribution center to the customer is projected to eliminate over 216,000 pounds of paper and 440,000 pounds of gel ice packs annually.
The new packaging represents a 90% reduction in shipment mass, which improves freight density and reduces carbon emissions, without compromising the quality of the antibodies. This initiative is a direct response to customer expectations and reinforces Thermo Fisher's commitment to global sustainability efforts.
Functional and stability testing confirmed that a significant portion of the Invitrogen antibody portfolio can be maintained at ambient temperature during transport. This advancement simplifies laboratory operations for customers by reducing packaging waste and minimizing environmental impact, while also potentially lowering logistics costs for Thermo Fisher.
