ABOUT URTHCOR

Better, Stronger, Greener

URTHCOR is a game changer in sustainable packaging design by offering a first of its kind alternative to regular waxed cardboard, polystyrene, and other non-recyclable box products made from materials that are all problematic for the environment. URTHCOR has been specifically engineered for the seafood industry by addressing the strength, thermal and waterproof requirements in seafood supply chains, while simultaneously lowering the carbon footprint associated with packaging and logistics.

Thermal Capabilities

Excellent insulation and thermal performance out of cold chain, especially when combined with our disruptive ice pack (coming soon)

AIR-FREIGHT CASE STUDY


The example above illustrates the bespoke solution Disruptive Packaging developed to maximise freight efficiency for a US-based seafood wholesaler and processor currently importing Atlantic Salmon from Norway.

By replacing EPS with our URTHCOR/URTHCOOL solution, the customer achieved:

  • 12-18 more boxes per pallet = 37.5% volume increase
  • 800-1500kg more Salmon per PMC
  • Labour reduced from 3 hours to only 50 minutes per departure Pallet to PMC transfer, and arrival PMC to Pallet transfer = 73% labour time reduction
  • Only 8 scans per shipment required vs 224 scans

ROAD FREIGHT CASE STUDY



Better pallet utilisation = freight savings

  • EPS boxes often come in stock standard sizes that don’t maximise pallet space available
  • URTHCOR boxes can be designed to fit any size pallet, AKE or PMC ensuring maximum utilisation
  • With thinner walls than EPS, seafood producers, processors, and wholesalers can achieve:
    • More boxes per pallet layer; and
    • More pallet layers

WAREHOUSE SAVINGS

  • Reduce inbound transport costs with less deliveries with a 9:1 ratio on average
  • Save space required to store empty boxes with URTHCOR flat packed designs
  • URTHCOR boxes are bespoke to your factories processing lines and can be designed to be:
    • Hand-erected: economical for lower volumes
    • Easy-erected: pre-glued for speed and labour savings
    • Machine-erected: most cost & time efficient for large volumes
