Igloo debuted EcoCool, a hard-sided cooler made with recycled plastic.
Arriving this spring at retail, the cooler collection includes five styles, each made in the USA, made with a recycled resin compound — a first of its kind in repurposing post-consumer plastic from discarded plastic yogurt cups and milk jugs.
“We are very proud to introduce the world’s first hard-side coolers made with recycled plastic,” said Dave Allen, president and CEO, Igloo. “We’ve had a series of industry firsts since Igloo was founded in 1947, so we’re happy to continue this tradition while also moving forward significantly in our mission to become the most environmentally-friendly cooler company on Earth.”
With the initial production run, Igloo will use 58 tons (116,383 pounds) of recycled resin, which is equivalent to saving the landfill space of 10 football fields. For more product information, go here.
