Sonichem (formerly Bio-Sep) has developed a unique, low energy biorefinery process to convert the by-products of forestry and agriculture into sustainable platform biochemicals. These biochemicals include lignin, cellulose, and sugars. Lignin is an aromatic polymer and is the only potential bio-sourced replacement for phenol, the petrochemical widely used in resins and composites. Lignin is also hydrophobic and has innate flame retardancy, anti-microbial and UV resistant properties.

Team Refrigeration is a subsidiary of Container Team Ltd, a successful hire company based in the West Country, operating across the UK.

Back in 2006 we realised that not everyone needed a large capacity refrigerated storage container and that there was a real demand for smaller mobile cold storage, which would also be simple and easy to use.

After looking long and hard at the best way to satisfy our customers’ needs, we discovered that the ideal solution was the refrigerated trailer.

Team Refrigeration was born; and we’ve been supplying trailers as well as containers to an ever-expanding, satisfied customer base ever since.
