Tempest Partners With Cruz Foam and Atlantic Packaging
Tempest Weather Systems has redefined its packaging approach, aligning with its commitment to sustainability while ensuring optimal protection for its advanced weather devices. The company partnered with Atlantic Packaging and Cruz Foam to develop a fully compostable and recyclable protection system, eliminating plastic waste and enhancing the customer unboxing experience.
Founded on the principle that better weather data contributes to a healthier planet, Tempest has installed over 100,000 devices globally. The company's innovation extends beyond its weather technology; it aims for its packaging to reflect its environmental ethos. By sourcing Cruz Foam, made from upcycled food waste, Tempest achieved the perfect balance between protection and sustainability.
Together with Atlantic Packaging, Tempest re-engineered its packaging design to meet three key criteria: superior protective performance, a premium unboxing experience, and a zero-plastic solution. The collaboration involved extensive prototyping and testing, resulting in a layered block-and-brace system that securely holds the Tempest device and accessories while remaining fully compostable.
By sourcing materials locally, Tempest minimized shipping emissions and costs, thereby enhancing its operational efficiency. The final packaging solution is 100% plastic-free, fully compostable, curbside-recyclable, and designed to fit seamlessly into Tempest’s mission.
This partnership exemplifies the power of collaboration in driving sustainable innovation, setting the stage for future advancements in packaging across all Tempest products.
