Insulcap® Environmental Benefits

As we are all aware, the global is becoming warmer. There are many reasons and theories as to why this phenomenon is happening but as a result we are beginning to experience crazy weather conditions and patterns. In some countries, the winters are becoming colder and the summers are becoming hotter. For those of us who live in Melbourne Australia, it's hard to forget the extreme heatwaves of summer 2008/2009.

The devastating effects of global warming can be seen all over the world, where natural disasters are more frequently experienced.

By using Insulcap®, thermal insulation you can help reduce the effects of global warming and reduce your company's carbon footprint;

  • Insulcap® is made up of at least 15% of post consumer recycled materials

Made from at least 15% post consumer recycled material, Insulcap® doesn't just help you reduce your carbon footprint by using less fuels - it also helps keep reusable raw materials out of landfill.

Because every Insulcap® product is manufactured in Australia, you know that stringent environmental guidelines are adhered to making it one of the most environment friendly packaging material.

  • Insulcap® is recyclable and can be reused multiple times

Insulcap® products can be used multiple times. We don't agree with the current trend in manufacturing that sees product manufactured as cheaply as possible - resulting in "Planned Obsolescence".

Insulcap®  is so hard wearing, in fact, that we have some customers who are still using their original Insulcap® ‘s that were purchased two years ago

  • Insulcap® is an advanced thermal insulation material helps reduce carbon emissions

Thanks to the amazing properties of Insulcap®, it is now possible to ship chilled goods in a non-refrigerated vehicle.

A non-refrigerated truck uses 50% less fuel when compared to a refrigerated truck (a refrigerated truck uses 5-6 litres more diesel fuel per hour - CSIRO). Coupled with Insulcap to protect your produce, the only difference you and your customers will see is to the bottom line.
