Sustainable Shipping
Introducing the Renewable Cooler
At CooperSurgical, we’re committed to advancing sustainability without compromising performance.
That’s why we’re introducing the Renewable Cooler — a next-generation cooler, offering our clients globally a reliable, new option for IVF media transportation.
The Renewable Cooler is a sustainable solution with an efficient design that provides enhanced maintenance of temperature when shipping IVF media.1 Extensively tested and validated, this new solution provides optimal cooling for extended periods while reducing environmental impact.
Made from 85% renewable plant-based fibers,1 the Renewable Cooler is part of our commitment to help eliminate up to 115,000 lbs of single-use EPS plastics each year* — without compromising quality or reliability.
The Renewable Cooler:
Sustainable Materials
- Made with 85% renewable, upcycled plant fibers1
- Eliminates approximately 50,000 EPS coolers per year*
- Supports environmentally conscious IVF practices
Reliable Cold Chain Performance
- Validated to maintain a consistent 2–8°C,1 supporting global IVF media requirements
- Designed to maintain optimal cooling for
extended periods1
Engineered for Efficiency
- Smaller cooler design, ideal for lower order volumes
- Delivers equivalent performance and capacity in a more space-efficient package**
- Optimized pack-out configurations align with order sizes and seasonal temperature variations
A Sustainable Solution for IVF Media Shipping
What’s Changing?
While we are transitioning over to the Renewable Cooler, you may still receive the current packaging with your shipments, as this rollout will be phased to ensure we reduce waste, while allowing us to use up remaining EPS stock responsibly.
You’ll find the Renewable Cooler provides the same trusted IVF media — with:
- Better temperature control1
- A reduction on reliance on plastics1
- Packaging aligned with sustainable values
Disposal is Simple
- Inserts: Dispose in standard waste (biodegradable)
- Cardboard box: Flatten and recycle as paper waste
Tested and Validated
The Renewable Cooler has undergone:
- Thermal simulations and laboratory testing1
- Validation to International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) standards1
Cold Chain Shipping Designed with Sustainability in Mind
The Renewable Cooler reflects a meaningful shift in how IVF media is shipped. It is part of CooperSurgical’s ongoing commitment — one rooted in excellence — to adopting sustainable solutions as they become viable.
