Global distribution of life-saving pharmaceuticals is incredibly complex, with several different components from warehouse to final delivery. At each stage, providers must make sure strict temperature requirements are met across varying climates and infrastructures. 

As a result of global warming, the increase of unpredictable weather patterns and increased temperatures is making distribution even more challenging. To combat this, manufacturers, logistics providers and distributors are having to work together to implement new strategies and routes whilst trying to keep costs down. However, someone vital is often being missed out of the conversation. 

As witnessed during the pandemic, packaging providers play a crucial role in the delivery of lifesaving medicines. By building relationships with these providers now, logistics can adapt to ensure continued effectiveness of cold chain distribution as we prepare for the increase of extreme weather.
