Self-Heating Ready Meals & Self-Heating Coffee!

Food is essential — especially in a crisis.

Not only is a warm meal or a hot cup of coffee one less thing someone has to worry about in the wake of a disaster, but it's also a reminder that you are not alone.


What is Tempra?

Tempra Technology, Inc. is setting a new standard with patented self-heating and self-chilling packaging that delivers unmatched convenience—without compromising on safety or sustainability.

Our revolutionary products heat or chill beverages and meals on demand - no batteries, electricity, or external devices needed! Tempra is not just innovating packaging; we’re creating an entirely new packaging category.

Our solutions go beyond convenience - they’re built for a sustainable future:

  • Zero emissions, no harmful chemicals
  • Sustainable and biodegradable packaging materials
  • 36+ month shelf life
  • Perfect for on-the-go lifestyles, emergency response, and military applications

Introducing the Next Big Thing in Convenience

Hesitant to put your food in the communal microwave at the office?

Tempra Technology, Inc. is setting a new standard with patented self-heating and self-chilling packaging that delivers unmatched convenience—without compromising on safety or sustainability.



Whether you're cooling off on a hike or warming up a meal at work, Tempra’s technology works wherever life takes you.

2+ year shelf-life, no refrigeration, no spoilage, no need for external source of heating!

Tempra’s self-heating meal kits provide hot meals without the need for external heating sources. This versatile technology can be applied to dozens of other consumer goods including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, cosmetics and more.

Tempra is not just innovating packaging; we’re creating an entirely new packaging category.

Whether you're cooling off on a hike or warming up a meal at work, Tempra’s technology works wherever life takes you.

Introducing the Next Big Thing in Sustainability

A Game-Changer for Sustainable Packaging: Tempra has secured exclusive rights to a breakthrough bioplastic technology by acquiring the IP portfolio—four newly issued patents—from PolyX Labs. This innovation transforms spent coffee grounds into a high-performance, biodegradable plastic alternative.



Why is this a big deal? Because this material isn’t just sustainable—it’s recyclable, compostable and scalable. It offers Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) brands a real solution to phase out non-recyclable plastics and meet global sustainability mandates, enabling a true circular economy.

We are in the process of testing this material in our Self-Heating Food Bowl molds. In addition, we have recently launched a pilot with four Starbucks locations in Hungary, test marketing a reusable coffee cups made entirely from this bioplastic. Early traction is strong.

Now imagine the upside: Every Starbucks, Dunkin’, McDonald’s, and 7-Eleven replacing plastic lids and cups with this material. Beyond foodservice—think packaging, utensils, containers, and more.

This technology in combination with our Self-Heating technology, gives Tempra a first-mover advantage in a multi-billion-dollar market, unlocking new high-margin revenue streams and transforming us into a sustainability-first, IP-driven company at the forefront of next-gen packaging.

We're not just reducing plastic—we're redefining it.

Meeting Global Market Demand Where It’s Needed Most

With a world hungry for convenience, Tempra’s on-demand, eco-friendly packaging technology stands at the threshold of massive opportunity.


At this very moment, millions of Ukrainians are struggling to put food on the table as war continues to disrupt food production and distribution. 

“Food, in essence, gives you hope that maybe tomorrow will be better. That’s why a plate of food is so important in those moments.”
- Chef José Andrés (Founder World Central Kitchen) wck.org

The situation is so dire that humanitarian organizations are calling for urgent food donations to help families facing hunger. But it’s not enough.

“The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has created a devastating food security crisis...Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes, and critical infrastructure has been damaged, making it difficult for people to access the food they need.”
-Actor & Humanitarian Liev Schrieber (Co-Founder of Blue Check Ukraine). bluecheck.in

Tempra, with its patented groundbreaking packaging technology, addresses this challenge by offering safe and environmentally friendly, self-heating meals and self-heating beverages suited for humanitarian purposes, ensuring access to nutritious and delicious sustenance anytime, anywhere.

"While the World Central Kitchen, Blue Check Ukraine and other organizations are amazing at getting food and aid to these disaster areas, it often takes a week or longer for the mobile kitchens to be delivered and set up to prepare and cook the food. This is where Tempra comes in. Because our products require no refrigeration or microwaves ... we can truly be a first responder." -- Barney J. Guarino, Tempra Technology Founder & CEO

The crises in war-torn areas, in addition to the widespread consumer demand for ready meals and beverages, provide Tempra with substantial opportunities for huge growth.

The Tempra Solution: Delivering Hot Meals Where They're Needed Most

Tempra Technology is on a mission to revolutionize food aid with innovative self-heating packaging.

Our mission is to leverage our proprietary technology to address humanitarian needs and provide immediate and sustainable food relief to conflict-affected as well as disaster hit areas.



A Humanitarian Crisis Meets Innovative Technology

The global market for humanitarian aid technology and services is growing rapidly.

On top of this, increasing demand for convenient, on-the-go food solutions and innovative humanitarian aid technologies is driving this growth.

Self-Heating Meal Kits: A Lifeline for Those in Need

Our self-heating meal kits are designed to provide hot, nutritious meals in environments where conventional cooking facilities are unavailable or destroyed.

Features and Benefits:

  • Heats food to 140°F within minutes
  • Keeps meals warm for 30+ minutes
  • Shelf-stable for over two years
  • No need for refrigeration, electricity or external heating source

Use Cases: Ideal for disaster relief, military use, and areas with limited access to cooking facilities.

Product Development Roadmap: Ongoing improvements to efficiency and scalability of the self-heating technology.



The global Ready to Eat (RTE) meals market size reached $143.86 billion in 2021 and is projected to expand to $225.28 billion by 2030.


Increasing prevalence of on-the-go consumption, particularly among urban and younger demographics, is driving market growth.

Changing lifestyles favoring on-the-go eating and a trend of replacing meals with smaller nutritional snacks and drinks have fueled the adoption of Ready to Eat (RTE) meals.

There have been several attempts at a commercially acceptable self-heating beverages over the years:

We believe that once the world sees what our technology can do in the humanitarian space, consumer applications of this patented technology will grow rapidly.
