Softbox Systems, a Temperature Control Packaging (TCP) provider, created a worldwide survey for senior managers and directors working for leading companies in, or associated with, the life sciences sector on sustainable packaging systems. Supply chain, logistics, procurement, and quality control were all represented in the survey, across 36 countries.

Nearly one-third claim they are prepared to put at least an additional 10% on top of their current budgets to reach those ambitions. These goals are, in turn, influencing partners, suppliers, and vendors to provide more planet-friendly systems, according to Softbox.
