West London materials innovation startup Aeropowder has secured a £150,000 investment from British Design Fund.
The company is launching thermal packaging made from surplus feathers as a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics and other harmful materials. The packaging is designed for use in the life sciences industry and cold chain logistics.
Traditionally, plastic materials, such as expanded polystyrene, have been relied upon for storing and moving temperature-sensitive goods. Aeropowder’s patented solution can maintain an internal temperature of between 2-8°C for over 72 hours, even when external temperatures average 30°C
