iBOXiT replaces EPS with patented biofoam boxes from agri-waste—reusable, compostable, carbon-negative—cutting cost, waste & plastic tax in cold-chain logistics.
About
iBOXiT is a UK-based sustainable packaging company transforming cold-chain logistics with innovative, nature-positive solutions. We develop and commercialise patented biofoam boxes made from agricultural waste, designed to replace Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) in seafood, produce and pharmaceutical supply chains. Our multi-trip and single-trip boxes are reusable or fully compostable, delivering carbon-negative, regulation-ready alternatives that cut waste, reduce costs and extend shelf life. Supported by Innovate UK, global industry partners, and a growing IP portfolio, iBOXiT operates a capital-light model through licensed manufacturing, enabling rapid scale and global impact. Our mission is to make sustainable packaging the industry standard—driving measurable environmental benefits, resilient supply chains, and long-term commercial value.

Applications
iBOXiT targets industries that rely on temperature-controlled logistics and currently use Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) packaging. Our immediate focus is the seafood sector, where processors and exporters require high-performance insulated boxes for domestic and international distribution. We are expanding into fresh produce, meat, and pharmaceutical cold-chain supply chains, offering reusable and compostable packaging that meets strict regulatory standards. With demand driven by cost pressures, plastic taxes, and sustainability commitments, our solutions are designed for global logistics providers, food distributors, and retailers seeking scalable, regulation-ready alternatives to EPS.
