Packaging

WHY DO YOU USE WOOL?

Woolcool insulated packaging has been independently proven to keep pharmaceuticals within the critical 2°c and 8°c from 24 hours to more than 72 hours. Woolcool has also been independently proven to keep food contents below the all important 5°c for at least 24 hours and longer.

HOW DOES YOUR INSULATION COMPARE TO POLYSTYRENE?

Temperature after 24 hour testing. Data taken from actual trial using Gemini trackers which are tiny tag data loggers that accurately and reliably monitor temperature, humidity, power usage, CO2 and other environmental parameters. https://www.woolcool.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/TempGraph-New.gif

MY ICEPACK ISN'T FROZEN?

As our cool packs are made from gel, they might not be frozen solid when they arrive. Don’t worry! It’s supposed to be this way. Being gel, these packs bend and flex, staying colder for longer. They’re also less rigid than solid ice bricks that have sharp edges and can damage contents inside.

WHAT DO I DO WITH THE INSULATED BOXES?

We are environmentally conscious, so we endeavour to reuse as much packaging as possible. Please leave the box, insulation and ice pack outside on the day of your next delivery or Alternatively, you can drop it off at our pickup location at any time.

IS YOUR PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?

Yes! Woolcool products are primarily made from wool and cardboard/paper based materials, some of which are from recycled sources. These are renewable and compostable/recyclable.
