Abstract: This project introduces a reusable packaging solution using microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) for energy-efficient transportation of temperature-sensitive goods. MPCMs maintain consistent internal temperatures inside the product package without external cooling by absorbing or releasing heat during phase changes within their encapsulation. This innovative packaging with MPCMs shows high potential in boosting transport air conditioning efficiency, reducing reliance on traditional cooling, and cutting carbon emissions and operational costs in logistics.
