iBoxit Joins The Bridge – Accelerating Innovation in Sustainable Packaging
We are delighted to welcome iBoxit as the newest member of The Bridge. iBoxit is an emerging UK innovator transforming the future of cold‑chain and protective packaging through patented, compostable and carbon‑negative alternatives to expanded polystyrene (EPS). Their products are engineered entirely from natural and waste‑derived materials, delivering high‑performance insulation and strength while eliminating the environmental burden associated with traditional EPS.
The company’s product portfolio includes insulated produce boxes, single‑trip and multi‑trip compostable containers, and Zyvex®, a plant‑derived antimicrobial coating that can extend the shelf life of fresh food by up to 14 days, supporting waste reduction across global supply chains.
Beyond packaging, iBoxit is advancing innovations such as recyclable pallet alternatives and is collaborating with UK businesses to trial and scale sustainable logistics solutions. Their technology pipeline showcases a commitment to reducing plastic pollution, improving cold‑chain efficiency and supporting circular‑economy goals across agriculture, seafood, and broader logistics sectors.
A Strong Fit for The Bridge Community: iBoxit’s mission aligns closely with The Bridge’s focus on advanced materials, sustainability, innovation-led engineering, and industry‑academic collaboration. As a member, iBoxit will gain access to our research expertise, technical capabilities and collaborative ecosystem, while offering new opportunities for our academics, students and partners to engage with cutting‑edge challenges in sustainable materials and low-carbon manufacturing.
Looking Ahead: We’re excited to work with the iBoxit team to accelerate real-world innovation and explore new research and development opportunities that support a more sustainable future.
