Discover Recycled insulated packaging
Engineered for performance, designed for sustainability
Recycled insulated packaging must deliver dependable thermal protection while supporting responsible material choices. At Hydropac, our approach balances proven cold chain performance with a growing range of recycled and recyclable solutions across food and pharmaceutical applications.
Advanced materials for temperature control
Our insulated packaging systems are designed to protect chilled and frozen goods under temperature regulated conditions. By combining recycled materials with efficient insulation design, we help reduce reliance on virgin plastics and fossil fuel based resources.
Key material and design considerations include:
- Paper based and corrugated insulation structures with recycled content
- Recyclable and kerbside friendly insulated box liners
- Recycled plastic components where thermal reliability is essential
- Natural and biodegradable alternatives for specific food applications
- Double wall corrugated cartons that enhance thermal stability
Each solution is tested to ensure consistent thermal conductivity and reliable performance across the cold chain.
Integrated cooling solutions
Insulation alone is only part of an effective chilled packaging strategy. Hydropac provides fully integrated temperature controlled packaging by pairing insulated containers with ice packs, gel packs or phase change materials where required.
Our cooling options include:
- Water based and gel ice packs for chilled food and pharmaceutical shipments
- Hard shell ice packs for repeated use and demanding logistics environments
- Phase change materials for precise temperature ranges
- Dry ice compatible packaging for frozen and specialist applications
Our seal through water technology ensures hygienic, leak resistant ice packs that perform reliably in food safety and pharmaceutical cold chain environments.

FAQ's about recycled insulated packaging
What is recycled insulated packaging?
Recycled insulated packaging is temperature controlled packaging made using materials that contain recycled content or are designed to be recyclable after use. It is used to protect temperature sensitive goods, such as food and pharmaceuticals, during storage and transport while reducing environmental impact.
Is recycled insulated packaging suitable for food and pharmaceuticals?
Yes. When correctly designed and tested, recycled insulated packaging can meet strict food safety standards and pharmaceutical cold chain requirements. At Hydropac, all solutions are developed to deliver reliable thermal performance while supporting hygiene and regulatory compliance.
How does recycled insulated packaging perform compared to polystyrene?
Modern recycled and paper based insulation systems can offer comparable thermal protection to traditional polystyrene boxes for many chilled and frozen applications. The right solution depends on temperature range, transit time and cooling method, which is why tailored testing is essential.
Can recycled insulated packaging be used with ice packs and gel packs?
Absolutely. Recycled insulated boxes and liners are commonly paired with water based or gel ice packs to maintain stable temperatures. This combination is widely used across food distribution, pharmaceutical logistics and temperature sensitive shipping.
Is recycled insulated packaging more sustainable?
Using recycled and recyclable materials helps reduce reliance on virgin plastics and lowers overall environmental impact. When combined with efficient packaging design and right sized solutions, recycled insulated packaging supports more sustainable cold chain operations without compromising performance.
