Rethinking Packaging for a Greener Tomorrow
Sustainability in packaging is no longer just a preference — it’s a business imperative. At Hydropac, we believe high-performance packaging can also be planet-friendly. That’s why we’ve embedded sustainability across every stage of our product design, from raw material sourcing to end-of-life disposal.
Whether you’re sending fresh food to customers, shipping pharmaceuticals across borders, or delivering weekly meal kits, our sustainable packaging solutions offer dependable performance without the environmental guilt.
Our Approach: Performance Without Compromise
We’ve curated a range of innovative, sustainable alternatives to traditional polystyrene and single-use plastics, all while maintaining the high thermal standards Hydropac is known for.
- RecycleAir & ReflectiveAir Liners
Lightweight, high-performing liners made from recyclable materials. Designed to reduce landfill waste while ensuring effective temperature protection during transit. - Eco-Friendly Ice Packs
Our gel packs are filled with non-toxic, drain-safe contents and use LDPE 4 recyclable film. Designed for food safety and domestic recyclability — a true win for both the planet and your product. - Compostable and Paper-Based Options

FAQ's about Sustainable packaging solutions
What makes Hydropac’s packaging solutions sustainable?
Our sustainable packaging solutions are designed with a focus on recyclability, reusability, and material efficiency. We use LDPE 4 recyclable films, non-toxic gel fillings, and paper-based or natural fibre insulation options that reduce reliance on single-use plastics and lower carbon emissions throughout the supply chain.
Are your eco-friendly gel packs safe for food contact?
Yes. All of our eco-friendly gel packs are made using food-safe materials and are compliant with UK and EU food safety standards. They are ideal for direct or indirect food contact and are designed to prevent leaks and contamination.
Can I recycle Hydropac’s insulated liners?
Absolutely. Many of our liners — including RecycleAir and fleece-based Eco liners — are recyclable through curbside or designated soft plastic recycling schemes. We clearly label materials and disposal instructions to support responsible consumer recycling behaviour.
Do sustainable options still offer reliable thermal protection?
Yes. Our sustainable packaging is rigorously tested for performance. ReflectiveAir liners, compostable fleece insulation, and gel packs are engineered to maintain consistent temperatures for chilled and frozen goods — often achieving protection for 12 to 24 hours, depending on configuration.
Can I customise sustainable packaging for my business?
Definitely. We offer bespoke packaging formats across our FreshPac, PharmaPac, and Ice Packs ranges, with sustainable options available for each. Whether you need branded insulation liners or custom-sized ice packs, our solutions are tailored to your needs — without additional tooling fees.
