RM2 and Sonoco ThermoSafe join Reusable Packaging Association

RM2 and Sonoco ThermoSafe have joined the Reusable Packaging Association.

RM2 is a vertically-integrated innovator in pallet development, manufacture, supply and management. Its flagship product is the BLOCKPal pallet, a multi-trip, heavy duty composite pallet that is suitable for use in both automated and manual areas of the supply chain where there are high levels of movements.

“The RPA’s research projects and studies attracted us to the association,” said Ruari McGirr, head of communications and planning at RM2. “The RPA invites innovation and is proactively seeking alternative reusable products to move our world’s goods in ways that minimize our reliance on natural resources. We look forward to contributing our expertise to this important goal.”

Sonoco ThermoSafe, a unit of Sonoco, is a leading global provider of temperature assurance packaging designed for the safe and efficient transport of pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines and other temperature sensitive products.

“We believe our reusable bulk insulated containers provide a unique value to the most complex supply chain challenges in storing and transporting temperature sensitive food, dry ice, pharmaceuticals, and other perishable items,” said Joe Laxamana, general manager of Sonoco ThermoSafe. “By joining the RPA, we can assist more end-users and help them identify new revenue streams and cost saving opportunities.”
