All PakSense labels can now be recycled

All models of PakSense temperature monitoring labels can now be recycled through the company’s GreenSense recycling program.

PakSense GreenSense is a recycling program that facilitates the return of PakSense temperature monitoring labels for proper battery and component recycling. Through the GreenSense program, PakSense provides customers with eco-friendly return boxes and pre-paid postage return labels free of charge.

Unlike bulky traditional temperature monitoring devices, customers can fit hundreds of temperature recorders in the provided medium-sized box, according to the company. The program is fully managed by PakSense staff in partnership with customers.

Calavo Growers, which procures and markets avocados and other perishable foods, has worked with PakSense to optimize cold-chain shipping processes while reducing the overall net impact on the environment.

“We have been an active participant in the PakSense GreenSense program for more than five years,” said Mike Browne, vice president, fresh operations at Calavo. “PakSense Labels and the GreenSense program, coupled with numerous other sustainability initiatives, have enabled us to dramatically reduce oxidized carbon dioxide emissions since 2007.”
