This document summarizes the RecyCold cool packs, which are more sustainable alternatives to traditional gel packs for shipping temperature-sensitive products. The cool packs use a biodegradable cooling gel contained in a paper pouch that can be recycled. They provide effective temperature control, freeze faster than conventional gel packs, and allow for a unique unboxing experience while being environmentally friendly. At the end of their use, the gel can be disposed of down the drain and the paper pouch recycled.

1. RecyCold®
cool packs are the more sustainable answer to
shipping sensitive products in unconditioned transport.
They are available in various sizes and weights for
different applications, and reflect Ranpak’s commitment
to sustainability – using materials that have a low
environmental impact both during
production and after use.
Keep it cooler Sustainable product
The drain-safe cooling gel
can be discarded in a sink or
garden, and the paper outer
layer not only saves plastic
but also matches paper
recycling trends - it has
been curbside recyclable in
multiple markets since 2021.
This makes the pack either
re-usable or suitable for
single-use.
Hygienic & food safe
RecyCold cool packs are
produced with a food-safe
plant-based gel and paper.
Thanks to its biodegradable
gel and paper, no harmful
chemicals are used or
microplastics released when
pouring away contents.
Thermal performance
Our cool packs deliver
excellent performance for
both chilled and frozen
products and because they
are paper laminated, they
are able to absorb a level
of condensation.
Easy freezing &
fast handling
Packaging in open card-
board trays ensures easier
freezing and handling –
RecyCold cool packs freeze
up to 70% faster than con-
ventional gel packs, saving
substantial space and cost.
Great unboxing
experience
A unique unboxing experi-
ence is enabled by attractive
and planet-friendly brown
paper - easy for consumers
to recycle.
YOUR BENEFITS
Custom printing
and designs mean
brands can tailor the
package to their
own needs.
The patent-registered paper pouches
have a polyethylene (PE) coating,
and inside each pouch is a 100%
biodegradable cooling gel – creating
a product that is suitable for indirect
food contact. The ink used for printing
on the cool pack’s exterior is also
suitable for indirect food contact.
With a freezing point of approximately
-2 degrees Celsius, RecyCold cool packs
can be used to maintain temperatures
between 2 to 8 degrees and -2 to -5 degrees
Celsius. They’re suited for single-use commer-
cial applications or re-use by consumers. At end
of life, the gel can be disposed of in a sink or
garden, or in a bio-container. The pouch can be
recycled as paper in many countries.
