100% PURE WOOL, SIMPLY PERFORMS

WHAT IS WOOLCOOL INSULATION MADE OF?
100% felted sheep’s wool which is washed in a natural process, scoured then sealed within recyclable industry grade micro-perforated polyethylene wrap.

CHILLED, FROZEN AND AMBIENT
Proven to keep food contents within various temperature windows, in Chilled, Ambient and Frozen chains, for at least 24 hours and in many cases, much longer.

Rigorous testing to industry standards in our own environmental chambers, supported by independent trials, consistently prove that Woolcool performs.

HOW DOES WOOL REGULATE TEMPERATURE?
Wool fibres are incredibly effective at absorbing moisture from the air which minimises humidity and condensation to maintain stable temperatures.

MAINTAIN 2°C – 8°C & 15°C – 25°C
Woolcool has been independently proven to keep pharmaceuticals within the critical temperatures range. We offer qualified performance from 24hrs to over 120hrs.

Wool is an amazing insulator, independent tests consistently prove that Woolcool outperforms conventional insulated packaging on every level.

PHARMA PERFORMANCE

OUR PROCESS

Woolcool sustainable packaging is manufactured on a commercial scale to meet the increasing demands of international markets. Wool is sourced and processed specifically for making Woolcool to ensure it doesn’t contain additives, such as borate or polyester, found in other types of wool insulation.

The washed fleece is garneted, needle-felted and cut into strips which are hygienically sealed within recyclable PE film with micro-perforations to allow the hygroscopic function.

Woolcool is the pioneer in wool based thermal packaging, using research and development to create a range of eco-friendly packaging solutions making it the packaging company of choice.

OUR PROCESS

Fleeces are washed and scoured in accordance with PPC regulations and ISO14001 environmental management systems, without the need for extreme temperatures, chemical treatments or additives. Beneficial by-products of the washing and scouring process include a nitrate and mineral rich sludge which is used as natural fertiliser or made into biodegradable slug pellets.

“The system of eco-friendly insulated packaging is nothing short of revolutionary.” Fortnum & Mason

ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE,
COMMERCIALLY VIABLE

Wool is an amazing Smart Fibre: not only is it is natural and sustainable, but is a superior insulator. Why compromise on sustainability or performance when you can have both?

Wool is one of the most sustainable natural materials, being available in abundance as a by-product of rearing sheep.

The wool insulation is totally compostable and biodegradable, releasing valuable nitrates back into the soil.

Woolcool is the packaging of choice for companies striving to comply with UK government and EU requirements, including the European Commission’s guidelines for the distribution of perishable products, Packaging Essential Requirement Regulations, Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) and businesses’ Duty of Care.

Woolcool insulated packaging products are reusable and fully sustainable, significantly reducing companies impact of waste to landfill.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Since 2009, many thousands of tonnes of non-biodegradable plastic packaging waste has been saved from landfill by companies switching to Woolcool.

Just in the last year alone, Woolcool prevented the equivalent of 75 Olympic sized swimming pools full of polystyrene from going to landfill.

At the end of its useful life as packaging, the insulation liners or felted wool can be re-used for a variety of purposes.
