The weather technology company plans to introduce domestically-produced compostable and biodegradable packaging for its popular Tempest Weather Systems.
Through this collaboration, Tempest will transition to using Cruz Foam's compostable and biodegradable protective packaging, an alternative to traditional petroleum-based foams. Made from naturally derived materials, Cruz Foam's packaging provides high-performance protection while ensuring a minimal environmental footprint.
"Tempest is dedicated to innovation, not just in weather technology, but also in how we operate as a responsible business," said David St. John, CTO at Tempest. "Partnering with Cruz Foam allows us to take a significant step toward eliminating single-use plastics in our packaging and brings more of our production closer to the source without increasing costs, all while maintaining the high standards our customers expect."
Cruz Foam, known for its pioneering work in sustainable materials, is committed to reducing waste and supporting a circular economy. "We are thrilled to partner with Tempest in advancing sustainable packaging solutions," said John Felts, CEO and Co-Founder of Cruz Foam. "Their commitment to sustainability extends beyond their technology and into the entire customer experience, setting a strong example for responsible business practices. Together, we're proving that innovation and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand."
Customers can expect to see the new packaging roll out with Tempest's products in June, 2025. This partnership marks an important milestone in the company's ongoing sustainability efforts and aligns with its mission to develop creative weather solutions for a better planet.
