Packaging with Purpose: Fresh Thinking for a Greener Food Chain
At Hydropac, we believe sustainability should never come at the cost of performance. That’s why our FreshPac range has been carefully developed to support both the environment and the food industry. Sustainable food packaging is more than a trend, it’s a long-term solution to reduce waste, cut carbon emissions, and extend shelf-life without compromising food safety.
With more consumers expecting ethical practices and governments tightening regulations, the pressure is on for food brands to adopt packaging that protects the product and the planet. Hydropac is here to help you do both.
What Sets Our Sustainable Food Packaging Apart?
We combine cutting-edge materials with eco-friendly practices to create packaging that’s not only recyclable but also smart and adaptable to a wide range of delivery needs.
- RecycleAir: Recyclable Soft Plastic Insulation
Designed for chilled food deliveries, RecycleAir uses LDPE film and air bubble membrane to form an effective barrier against temperature fluctuations. It is compatible with most soft plastic collection points, including many major UK supermarkets. - EnviroCool: Lightweight, Eco-Conscious Innovation
Ideal for home meal kits and e-commerce food retailers, EnviroCool is a fully recyclable, thermally efficient liner that reduces landfill waste while maintaining chilled or frozen conditions. - ReflectiveAir: A Slim, Smart Alternative
ReflectiveAir incorporates a reflective outer layer and insulating air pockets to provide excellent thermal control with minimal material use. It’s both recyclable and space-saving during transport and storage. - Customisation Without Compromise
Hydropac’s in-house design team creates bespoke packaging configurations to suit your products and branding. Whether you need liners, sleeves, or complete chilled transport kits, we deliver without adding tooling costs. - Seal Through Water Ice Packs
Manufactured with precision and hygiene in mind, our gel and water-based ice packs are food-safe, durable, and reusable. They pair perfectly with our liners to create a full sustainable cold chain system.

FAQ's about Sustainable food packaging
What makes packaging sustainable?
Sustainable food packaging is designed to reduce environmental impact throughout its life cycle. This includes using recyclable or compostable materials, minimising resource use during manufacturing, and reducing waste after use. Hydropac’s sustainable solutions, like RecycleAir and EnviroCool, are made from recyclable materials and support responsible disposal and reuse.
Is your packaging suitable for chilled and frozen food?
Yes, our sustainable packaging is specifically developed to meet the demands of chilled, ambient, and frozen food transport. When paired with our gel or water-based ice packs, products such as meal kits, fresh produce, and frozen goods remain protected during transit.
Can I recycle FreshPac packaging at home?
Most of our FreshPac liners, including RecycleAir and ReflectiveAir, use LDPE films that are accepted at soft plastic recycling collection points, often found at major UK supermarkets. While they may not go in standard household bins, they are fully recyclable through designated schemes.
How does sustainable packaging affect shelf life?
Hydropac’s sustainable packaging is designed with thermal efficiency in mind, helping to keep food within safe temperature ranges for longer periods. This helps prevent spoilage, extend shelf life, and reduce food waste — a win for both businesses and the environment.
Can Hydropac customise packaging to match my brand?
Absolutely. We offer custom-sized liners, branded ice packs, and tailored kits to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re sending out gourmet boxes or meal deliveries, our team can develop a solution that fits your product and reinforces your brand’s commitment to sustainability.
