    Abstract: A recyclable, thermally insulated shipping container is entirely constructed from organic fiber materials in such a manner that the container is curbside recyclable without separation of component materials. The container includes a corrugated cardboard outer box having a bottom wall, a plurality of sidewalls and a top wall, a corrugated cardboard inner liner assembly comprising a corrugated cardboard inner box having a bottom wall and a plurality of sidewalls, and a corrugated cardboard lid assembly. The outer box, inner liner assembly and lid assembly cooperate to create a plurality of thermally insulated cavities which are filled and uniformly packed with predetermined volumes of loose-fill cellulose (organic fiber) insulation to create a predetermined insulating value. The container provides a fully insulated six-sided product cavity to receive a temperature-controlled product. A portion of the product cavity may be filled with a PCM or other thermal media to provide a consistent temperature profile.

    Abstract: A dual PCM liquid suspension is formed by blending a liquid phase change material having a first phase change temperature, a microencapsulated phase change material having a second phase change temperature, a thickening agent, and a surfactant and heating the blended materials for a period of time to form a permanent liquid suspension. PCM liquid suspension behaves as a viscous liquid and may be filled in PCM bottles with conventional liquid filling equipment. The PCM liquid suspension may be preconditioned and stored at a single temperature.
