cold chain operators

A hot food startup is looking for an innovative cold chain logistics solution, according to Forbes. The company faces the common challenge of keeping perishable products at safe temperatures while scaling distribution. The report highlights how food startups increasingly depend on reliable refrigerated transport and storage partners to reach customers without compromising quality or food safety.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has granted refrigerant relief to cold chain operators, extending compliance deadlines to 2032. The decision affects companies running refrigerated storage and transport, which face high costs in phasing out hydrofluorocarbons under federal climate rules. Industry observers say the extra time eases near-term pressure on food and pharmaceutical logistics, while environmental groups question the delay in cutting potent greenhouse gases.
