AeroSafe Global Convenes Healthcare Leaders on Cold-Chain Waste at Virtual Symposium

AeroSafe Global will host its virtual Sustainability Symposium 2026 on November 10, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM Eastern Time, the company said in a PR Newswire announcement. The two-hour event examines reusable packaging models that can cut landfill waste by up to 95%.

Inside AeroSafe Global's Sustainability Symposium

AeroSafe Global is a Rochester, New York-based provider of biopharmaceutical cold chain solutions built on a proprietary "Cold Chain as a Service" model. The symposium gathers health systems, biopharma manufacturers and logistics leaders to examine single-use cold-chain packaging as a contributor to the broader healthcare waste stream. In high-volume environments, a single academic medical center can process nearly 300,000 pounds of single-use gel packs annually, according to the announcement.

Cass McCrory, Executive Vice President of Channel & Commercial Strategy at AeroSafe Global, hosts the event. "When you deliver life-saving medicine, safety is never an afterthought, it has to be designed into the system from the beginning," McCrory said. "Sustainability must be approached with the exact same rigor."

Sessions cover the operational differences between downstream recycling and closed-loop reuse models engineered for 70+ turn cycles, and perspectives from hospital pharmacy teams, home infusion specialists and patients on delivery reliability and packaging disposal at the point of care. Attendees also receive an advance look at the 2025 AeroSafe Global Impact Report, covering emissions, diversion and packaging lifecycle data, before its public release. Admission is complimentary, and registrants can access an on-demand recording for 90 days.
