The Bioffex\u2122 technology allows packaging, such as the Envirocooler\u2122 insulated shipper, to break down and blend back in with the earth in less than three weeks, further reducing environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to its renewable attributes, the Envirocooler\u2122 insulated shipper with Bioffex\u2122 technology delivers performance comparable to traditional EPS foam shippers, offering protection of payload with reliable temperature control. This technology meets strict shipping specifications for temperature-sensitive products while providing an environmentally responsible solution \u2013 a perfect combination for companies seeking sustainable alternatives that reduce waste and impact on the environment while upholding stringent performance standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to see this product take off and for the positive impact it will have as we replace traditional EPS foam with a technology that is made of renewable and bio-based materials and will degrade in under three weeks\u201d said Mark Gettig, President of LifeMade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Envirocooler\u2122 insulated shipper with Bioffex\u2122 technology requires little to no changes in shipping operations, making a switch to this sustainable alternative seamless for most existing cold chain distribution channels. \u201cCompanies can expect the same performance, reliability, quality, and usability of traditional EPS while reducing their environmental footprint,\u201d Gettig said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stemming from a rich history with foam material, LifeMade and Lifoam of parent company Jadex Inc., remain a market leader by continuously providing customers with the convenience and quality they value and expect for their medical, commercial and recreational needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For additional information about Bioffex\u2122 technology and available products, visit&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.Bioffex.com&amp;esheet=52485946&amp;newsitemid=20210902005791&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.Bioffex.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=d6d5bcfa0e5e4df884492a3a977cd7ab\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.Bioffex.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Lifoam Industries, LLC<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lifoam Industries, LLC, a business segment of LifeMade Products LLC, is the pioneer of the recreational foam cooler and global provider of innovative and cost-effective cold-chain shipping solutions for more than 60 years.
