Passive refrigerated transport unit: 1) Saves CO2 in emissions and expenses due to top class insulation, which does not require external energy to sustain the wanted temperature. 2) There is no need for expensive and rarer special equipment. Any unit or vehicle can be used, so loading and filling rate can be optimized and maximized. This reduces CO2 and saves costs. 3) The transport chain is stable and safe because there is no need for external supply of energy during the trip. This eliminates the risk of breaking the cold chain due to running out of energy or breaking of vehicle. This reduces waste and spoilage. 4) The transportation unit is recyclable and useable in multiple purposes. The unit can be directly placed where the customer needs it, and separate sales units are not needed. This saves materials, costs, and CO2.
