Sustainable Packaging

We are proud to tell you that all our products are supplied in Woolcool® insulated packaging with sorbafreeze ice packs. This sustainable insulated packaging is designed specifically for the direct delivery of fresh and frozen foods and will ensure you get your products in the best possible condition.

Woolcool® insulated packaging maintains internal temperatures between 2°C and 8°C in excess of 72 hours, more effectively than other packaging including polystyrene cartons, polyethylene foam or air pocket products. The felted wool insulation also provides more effective cushioning protection for fragile contents.  

As an additional advantage, Woolcool® packaging products are an entirely sustainable solution because sheep’s wool is a naturally effective insulation which is available in abundance worldwide. Sheep’s wool is also compostable and other elements of the Woolcool® packaging are recycled or recyclable.
