Igloo hosted its fourth annual Eco Event, where attendees learned about the global impact of the brand’s ongoing sustainability efforts and saw its expanded line of coolers made with recycled materials, including sustainable softside styles.
This year’s event also showcased an eco-friendly collection in collaboration with Peanuts, timed with Arbor Day and Igloo’s fourth Parks Project EcoCool Playmate cooler.
“We are incredibly honored to have like-minded individuals and companies like the iconic Peanuts team on board,” said Josh Militello, president at Dometic Mobile Cooling. “We set out to become the most environmentally friendly cooler company on Earth, and we are extremely proud and humbled by the positive impact we’ve made so far on the environment. Thank you to our loyal customers, partners and retailers who believe in our sustainability efforts.”
In support of the Take Care With Peanuts initiative, Igloo introduced its Peanuts Take Care of the Earth EcoCool Playmate Elite, made with recycled plastic and artwork featuring Snoopy and Woodstock. The 16-quart cooler, which fits up to 30 cans, launches on April 28 to celebrate Arbor Day. Throughout 2023, Igloo is expanding its special-edition collaboration to include Peanuts cooler bags made with post-consumer recycled plastic bottles and stainless-steel drinkware.
Igloo also announced its continued partnership with Parks Project with its Parks Project EcoCool Playmate cooler, an eco-friendly cooler featuring national park-inspired artwork.
First introduced in 2021, Igloo’s EcoCool hardside coolers are Made in the USA with a recycled resin compound that repurposes post-consumer plastic from discarded plastic yogurt cups and milk jugs. In honor of Earth Month, Igloo released a compact EcoCool roller cooler to expand the lineup—the EcoCool Latitude 16-Quart Roller.
For 2023, Igloo is expanding its EcoCool category into softside coolers with sustainable cooler bags featuring Bloom technology, a material made from repurposed algae, removing over-abundant and harmful algae from ecosystems worldwide, resulting in clean and oxygenated water, along with cleaner air restored to the environment.
The EcoCool collection of softside coolers featuring Bloom Rise algae-blended and recycled EVA insulation, Repreve, made from recycled plastic bottles, exterior and zippers, recycled aluminum hardware, and natural hemp details comes in three styles: the Cube 12-Can Lunch Bag, Switch 24-Can Tote and 24-Can Backpack.
