Embodiments of the subject invention relate to a method and apparatus for shipping products so as to control the temperatures the products are exposed to. Embodiments can increase the amount of time the product and/or portions of the product experience a desired temperature range and/or reduce the amount of time the product and/or portions of the product experience temperatures outside of the desired temperature range and/or experience an undesirable temperature range. Embodiments can incorporate biotic materials, such as wood fibers or moss, positioned around and/or near the product positioned inside a packaging container or around a pallet load, such that the biotic materials restrict heat flow from one or more locations on the exterior of the package to one or more other locations in the interior of the package.

The present invention relates to a biodegradable food packaging unit from a moulded pulp material and a method for manufacturing such biodegradable packaging unit. The packaging according to the invention comprises a food receiving or carrying compartment, wherein the moulded pulp material comprises an amount of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester, wherein the food packaging unit is a compostable food packaging unit. In a preferred embodiment the amount of biodegradable aliphatic polyester is in the range of 0.5-20 wt. %, more preferably in the range of 1-15 wt. %.
