72 Hours on Ice: The TransGourmet Seafood Trials

RENW and PAPACKS have demonstrated that fiber-based packaging can match EPS in real-world seafood cold-chain logistics. In 72-hour trials with TransGourmet Seafood, the Fiber Box maintained structural integrity under 8 kg of fish and direct ice, while keeping internal temperatures below 1°C for over five days.

Performance Without Plastic: Results from the Feb 2026 Cold-Chain Trials

For decades, the seafood industry has relied on a single assumption: only plastic foam can survive the cold chain. The high-humidity, 0–2°C environment of professional seafood logistics has long been considered the ultimate graveyard for fiber-based packaging.

Last month, we proved that assumption wrong.

At fish international 2026 (Feb 22–24 in Bremen, Germany), RENW and our partner PAPACKS unveiled the results of our rigorous cold-chain trials conducted with TransGourmet Seafood in Bremerhaven. We did not test our Fiber Box in a sterile lab; we tested it in real-world, day-to-day logistics operations.
