The need for packaging
As a pioneer in the use of natural materials and sustainable packaging in insulated packaging for food, you might expect Woolcool® to adopt a lofty position above all the controversy.
Ice packs for packaging
Frozen gel packs or ice packs provide the essential energy at the core of a delivery, but there are so many other factors that influence the performance.
Woolcool and the community
It is not only how a company engages in community support but why it chooses to do so. Woolcool® is proud to be part of a business community that reaches out to support the community and charity not as a box-ticking gesture or an opportunity for marketing.
Double triumph for Woolcool at national awards
Woolcool is a pioneering packaging company. Woolcool® was launched in 2008 and the innovative, sustainable design has scooped an impressive haul of awards in the packaging, business, and environmental arenas.
Woolcool, a way of working
Innovation has seen Angela’s eureka moment grow into an international business. Speak to the Woolcool® team and you find that the creative spark isn’t just confined to the laboratories and designers – it’s an intrinsic part of the company’s set up, which encourages openness and idea sharing.
About wool – the facts
As it’s in our blood not to shy away from a challenge, an in-depth process of research and prototyping ensued, reviewing materials, developing insulating liner designs and box sizes. This led to a series of temperature trials with a variety of potential solutions. Wool is a genuinely environmentally responsible solution.
Founders of the sustainable packaging revolution
Sustainability is at the heart of everything Woolcool® does. They have spent more than a decade investing millions of pounds developing temperature-controlled packaging products for the pharmaceutical market, which use 100% sheep’s wool.
A year of innovation and renewal
As the year draws to a close, we thought it would be good to reflect on a year of innovation and renewal, which saw Woolcool officially open its new HQ, win further Royal recognition and launch an award-winning new sustainable product.
Honoured by our latest Royal recognition
The nation has a new King and Woolcool has received another Royal honour. In what may prove to be the last Queen’s Award scheme before it is renamed, Woolcool has been recognised with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise (Sustainable Development).
Balancing the needs of sustainability against rising costs
Wool is nature’s Smart Fibre which, as a result of millions of years of development in nature’s laboratory – evolution – is flexible, reusable, recyclable, compostable, light and strong. It’s also abundant.
