Vericool

Vericool’s patent‑protected Vericooler® and VC Fiber™ shippers combine molded post‑consumer paper fibre with plant‑starch binders to hold 2‑8 °C for 96 h—on par with EPS but fully curb‑side recyclable or compostable. Founded in 2016 by Darrell Jobe, the Livermore firm champions a “second‑chance” hiring programme and has raised US $ 38 m from Radicle Impact and Billerud. A 2024 expansion added a 100,000 ft² line for vaccine shippers as pharma and meal‑kit demand accelerate. Patents cover starch‑laminated fibre shells and moisture‑barrier coatings.
