Topa Thermal, a leading innovator in thermal packaging and part of the industrial packaging group Topa, proudly showcased °Connex ECO at the 2024 annual Outsourcing in Clinical Trials UK & Ireland event, held last month at the Hilton, Park Lane London. This novel packaging product is set to transform the transportation of temperature-sensitive clinical trial products with its sustainable and recyclable design.

°Connex ECO, demonstrated at the prestigious clinical trial event, is a zero-waste thermal packaging solution designed specifically for the transportation temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical cold chain products. Featuring novel rigid-wall cellulose technology, °Connex ECO is 100% bio-based, plastic-free and sustainable. This innovative thermal container combines thermal efficiency with easy recyclability, ensuring the integrity of clinical trial products during transport. It can be conveniently recycled curbside by doctors, clinicians, patients and other clinical trial end-users.

Richard Harrop, Topa Thermal product director, commented: “°Connex ECO isn’t your typical cardboard box or flimsy paper bag thermal packaging – it’s the smart choice for pharmaceutical companies, clinical trial organisations, CRO/CDMOs and other specialist pharmaceutical distributors seeking a reliable, eco-friendly thermal packaging solution. With intuitive bio-based rigid cellular walls it meets the rigorous demands of transporting temperature-sensitive specialist pharmaceuticals, clinical trial products, and cell and gene therapy treatments.”

°Connex ECO is pre-qualified for clinical trial cold chain, from drug manufacture to final delivery of medication to the clinical trial site. It represents a significant advance for sustainable clinical trial delivery, offering a completely kerbside-recyclable thermal packaging container while maintaining product efficacy throughout the distribution process.

°Connex ECO is part of the expanding °Connex range of pre-qualified and customised temperature-controlled packaging solutions, designed to meet the unique demands of the clinical trial industry, minimising waste and maximising efficiency.
