Going Beyond Recycling to Create a Circular Economy
We have spent the last 10 years pioneering our packaging field, and in the case of Woolcool, using the natural properties of 100% pure wool to create insulation for the shipment of food products and for use in the cold chains of the pharmaceutical industry.
Through years of investment in research and testing, we have proven time and again that not only is the pure wool we use in our insulated bag and box designs bio degradable and compostable, it outperforms man-made insulating materials such as polystyrene.
So, while polystyrene and other non-sustainable alternatives clog up landfill sites, taking centuries to break down, our natural wool products biodegrade quickly, releasing valuable minerals into the earth. While the processes that manufacture man-made insulators may impact on the planet, the wool we use in our thermal bag and boxes is an abundant natural material.
But even with its fantastic bio-degradable properties, we would love each and every one of the natural wool liners in our thermal bag and box products to have even less ecological impact.
After all, if Mother Nature gave wool such useful qualities, we’d like to benefit from them as many times as possible.
Now Woolcool is taking the next step on the road to true sustainability.
The real secret to sustainable packaging is not just recycling, in turning a material into something new such as a bin bag – but it is re-use.
Woolcool’s Circular Economy Scheme
Woolcool is paying the costs of enabling this ground-breaking scheme, because it perfectly sums up our ecological ethos and determination to find packaging solutions that are not only good for customers, products and consumers, but they also help protect the earth.
How does it work?
So, simply take a box and fill it with as many Woolcool liners as possible.

Once you have filled a box with Woolcool liners, seal it up, and stick the free post returns label you have received on the outside of the sealed box. If you haven’t received a returns label in your box or have misplaced this (to cut down on waste not everyone will receive a label in every box so we encourage you to save the one you have received until your box is full) you can download and print off your label from the following link and stick onto your box.

You can then drop your parcel off at any one of more than 7000 UK stores that offer the Collect+ parcel service.
They will give you a returns receipt so that you can track your parcel on line, as it makes its way back to us. Alternatively, you can scan this label using our app.
It’s that easy.

If you have any questions, please give us a call on 01785 262030 or drop us an email – sales@woolcool.com, one of the Woolcool team will be waiting, ready to assist.
As a valued user and receiver of Woolcool’s products, you probably already know the remarkable properties of our natural products and we thank you for all your support of our journey so far.
We believe that it is through collaboration and working together with those willing to be part of this trailblazing journey with us, that we can and will significantly improve the impact of waste and material usage on our planet. We believe re-use is the future, and this scheme is just the beginning.
