The invention claimed is: 1. A container for storing an item comprising: an insulating material defining an interior, the insulating material comprising a bio-based polyurethane; a temperature-maintaining material disposed within the interior, the temperature-maintaining material being arranged to maintain a temperature of an item placed with the interior; and an outer shell located about at least a portion of the exterior of the insulating material; wherein the outer shell and the insulating material comprise the bio-based polyurethane, the polyurethane being configured with a foamed portion and a hardened outer skin, the insulating material corresponding to the foamed portion, the outer shell corresponding to the hardened outer skin. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein the outer shell has a lid and at least one opening for providing access to the interior, the lid being movable between an open position and a closed position, in the closed position the outer shell encasing the interior, in the open position the lid providing access to the interior. 3. The container of claim 1, wherein the outer shell comprises cardboard. 4. The container of claim 1, wherein the outer shell, the insulating material, and the temperature-maintaining material are biodegradable. 5. The container of claim 1, wherein the temperature-maintaining material comprises a super-absorbent. 6. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises starch. 7. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises limestone. 8. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises vegetable oil. 9. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises castor oil. 10. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises soybean oil. 11. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises palm oil. 12. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises peanut oil. 13. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises rap seed oil. 14. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises cotton seed oil. 15. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises sunflower oil. 16. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises linseed oil. 17. The container of claim 1, wherein the bio-based polyurethane comprises lard. 18. A method comprising: providing a container, the container having: an insulating material defining an interior, the insulating material comprising a bio-based polyurethane; and a temperature-maintaining material disposed within the interior, the temperature-maintaining material being arranged to maintain a temperature of an item placed with the interior, the polyurethane being configured with a foamed portion and a hardened outer skin. 19. The method of claim 18, further comprising: placing an item within the interior of the container. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising: transporting the container with the item stored therein. 21. The method of claim 20, further comprising: freezing the temperature-maintaining material prior to transporting the container with the item stored therein. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein, in transporting the container, the container is located within in a transport volume, the transport volume being defined, at least in part, by an insulating material comprising a bio-based polyurethane. 23. The method of claim 19, wherein, in transporting the container, the container is transported via ground transportation. 24. The method of claim 23, further comprising: cooling the transport volume. 25. The method of claim 23, wherein: the method additionally comprises providing a refrigeration unit; and cooling the transport volume is accomplished using the refrigeration unit. 26. The method of claim 19, wherein, in providing the container, the container is manufactured in a vicinity of the item. 27. The method of claim 18, wherein: at least a portion of the temperature-maintaining material is air; and the method further comprises cooling at least a portion of the air during transport. 28. The method of claim 18, wherein the insulating material and the temperature-maintaining material are biodegradable. 29. The method of claim 18, wherein the temperature-maintaining material comprises a super-absorbent.
