The Woolcool® packaging is made with 100% felted sheep’s wool and is recyclable, compostable and biodegradable. There are a number of ways you can reuse the wool liners including hanging baskets, pet beds, rabbit hutches, craft and homework projects, protecting plants from frost and slugs, pipe lagging, pads for kneeling and more.

Here are some ways the liner can be used in and around the house or garden woolcool-recycling-ideas or check out #letsboxclever.

However, if you are not looking to reuse the wool liner, simply remove the plastic sleeve which can be recycled the same way as carrier bags, then just break apart the wool liner to either put into a compost bin or dig into the soil in the garden where it will release valuable nitrates back into the soil as it breaks down.

Some local authorities will accept the wool in household garden waste bins but even if it ends up in the general waste, it will break down in landfill.

If you are unable to reuse or recycle your wool liners then Woolcool® offer a free return scheme here Pioneers | Woolcool® Insulated Packaging
