A sustainable thermal pallet shipper assembly to transport temperature sensitive and perishable items in bulk quantities such as food, pharmaceuticals, and medical specimens within a consistent temperature range for an extended period of time. The assembly is made of entirely recyclable materials to enable curbside recycling, such materials included for example cellulose, cardboard, corrugated cardboard, and paper-based insulation, and materials preferably made from postconsumer paper, and other environmentally friendly materials. The components of the pallet shipper are configured to form a close fit with one another to eliminate or significantly reduce the possibility of exposed gaps between components and between the insulation materials to minimize or eliminate temperature loss from gaps or edge loss from the contents being transported or stored.
A sustainable insulated pallet shipper assembly to transport temperature sensitive and perishable items in bulk quantities, the pallet shipper assembly comprising:
The insulated pallet shipper assembly of claim 1, wherein at least one of the insulation materials is a two-piece pre-consumer paper insulation adhered between two paper layers suitable for curbside recycling. The insulated pallet shipper assembly of claim 9, wherein the at least one insulation material includes at least one of cellulose, cotton, denim jute, starch, and hemp.
The insulated pallet shipper assembly of claim 13, further comprising a nylon banding applied around the pallet shipper assembly and through the rotary clip.
