KEEPING COOL
Founded more than 35 years ago,
Envirotainer offers a large fleet of
containers globally, standing at about
6,000, says Niklas Adamsson, chief
operating officer, Envirotainer.
" Envirotainer researches, develops,
manufactures, leases and manages
temperature-controlled air cargo
containers. We also provide innovative
tools and services for validation, planning,
shipping and monitoring of them, "
Adamsson says.
The containers are battery-powered
and insulated, able to have up to five
pallets of pharmaceuticals loaded into
them, depending on the model and size.
Units can maintain a constant internal
temperature for up to a week.
They are purpose built to be loaded as air
freight unit load devices (ULDs) and travel
around the world in a circular economy
like high-tech shipping containers
designed specifically for air transport.
" The product range includes the Releye
family of advanced containers, launched
in 2021, which are designed to meet the
strictest requirements in pharmaceutical
air freight. They were created with
control, monitoring, autonomy, value and
sustainability in mind, " says Adamsson.
" These are complemented by the
CryoSure series, also launched in 2021,
which offer a revolution in -70 degree
C cold chain transportation. Whereas
the majority of temperature-controlled
pharmaceutical shipments have
historically involved temperature ranges
of 2-8 degrees C and -15 to -25 degrees
C, many pharma products such as cell
and gene therapy, mRNA vaccines and
biospecimen samples require below -70
degrees C shipments. CryoSure meets
that need, " Adamsson adds.
He continues that the Releye RAP is
currently the biggest and most advanced
container in its field, and offers 170 hours
of autonomy to maintain temperature and
protect cargo.
" In most cases, it will be regularly
recharged and keep protecting the
cargo indefinitely. The integrated live
monitoring enables a unique insight into
* Planning for the security of vaccines
and concerned staff: Clear security
arrangements must be in place to
ensure the safety and integrity of

products throughout the supply
chain. Develop a plan to safeguard
the security of all concerned staff
and all vaccine storage facilities,
including during transit.
product condition, location and progress
of the shipment. Its large size ensures
costs and environmental impact can be
reduced by maximizing the amount of
pharmaceuticals that can be held within, "
Adamsson says.
Customers have been needing bigger
and better solutions that are costeffective
and sustainable, according to
Adamsson. In such a highly regulated
market, he says they're looking for control
to keep shipments safe; monitoring,
to ensure there are no temperature
deviations, tampering and to assist
with any investigations; and they also
need autonomy, to allow for delays and
challenges with an air freight system
under pressure.
