Abstract

Disclosed embodiments provide a passive cooling solution that enables delivery of perishable consumables such as food, beverages and/or medicines. In embodiments, a container comprises a first compartment for items to be kept at a freezer temperature, a second compartment for items to be kept at a refrigerator temperature, and a third compartment for items to be kept at an unrefrigerated temperature. A dry ice compartment has a first side panel facing the first compartment, and a second side panel facing the second compartment. The first side panel and second side panel have differing amounts of surface area, creating an asymmetrical cooling profile that promotes freezer temperatures in the first compartment, and refrigerator temperatures in the second compartment. A divider separates the second compartment and the third compartment to promote unrefrigerated temperatures in the third compartment.
