AFKLMP Ice Cool Green Container
Air
France-KLM-Martinair Cargo and va-Q-tec Ltd. signed a agreement that
enables forwarders and shippers to rent va-Q-tec containers directly
through Air France-KLM-Martinair Cargo and return containers at 80 airports
worldwide.
va-Q-tec rental containers, called va-Q-tainers
and va-Q-cases, are passive and utilize vacuum insulation technology
in the container shell and phase change materials inside.
Shipment temperatures can range from -50°C
to +25°C and provide safe transportation of APIs and other healthcare
products without dry ice, providing an unbroken cool chain.
“Through this cooperation, Air France-KLM-Martinair
Cargo has targeted the replacement of single use packaging in its network
to minimize waste of valuable resources worldwide,” said Eelco
van Asch senior vice president Sales & Distribution at Air France-KLM
Cargo and Martinair Cargo.
“The partnership with va-Q-tec supports
Air France-KLM-Martinair Cargo’s market leadership in Reliable
Passive Cold Chain Solutions targeting the replacement of single use
packaging.
“In certain cases, these solutions
fulfill customer needs even better than active containers,” Eelco
declared.
