Polystyrene will become a thing of the past if Angela gets her way.

The brains behind the woolcool range of environmentally friendly packaging is Angela Morris, a packaging designer of more than 27 years and has a BA Hons in Design, MA in Design Management and has been a Member of the Institute of Packaging for 23 years.

Woolcool packaging evolved from working with National Trust tenant farmers whose customers were asking for ethical packaging for their home deliveries or transporting their shopping home from the farm shop. It was of course essential that every element of the packaging, was environmentally friendly and after detailed research excluded any consideration of man-made insulation materials such as polystyrene or polyethylene.And so woolcool environmentally cool packaging was born, a range of boxes using recycled, recyclable, degradable and compostable fibreboard, with a unique wool insulation lining. For convenience of ordering smaller quantities, we have some of our more popular products available to BUY HERE on this website. However if you’re looking for printed packaging, a specific size or a larger quantity (more than 500) please contact us to discuss your specific requirements. Our wool insulated boxes are now used by leading UK food businesses such as River Cottage, Riverford Organic Vegetables and Daylesford Organics.We are completely confident with the effectiveness of our product, however we do recommend that purchasers undertake trials of their own particular packing systems and cool chains. It is the purchasers responsibility to ensure that the packaging is suitable for their requirements.

Eco Friendly Mobile

There are millions of mobile phones in use and they have a massive environmental impact through their manufacture and disposal - all those nasty chemicals seeping into landfill.

Enter Nokia with the 3110 Evolve, their most eco friendly phone to date which has just been released onto the marked.


The phone’s cover is made from around 50% recycled plastic. The packaging has been reduced and uses 60% recycled content. The included charger appears to be very efficient and is said to use 94% less energy than the published Energy Star requirements. It also switches itself off once the phone is charged which means a real reduction in energy consumption. How many of us leave our phones on charge overnight?

The phone has a 1.3 megapixel camera, MP3 player and all the bits and pieces you would expect from a modern mobile so you can stay ahead of the technology and be a little eco friendly at the same time!

For more details about the phone visit Nokia or watch a video review on Techdigest.

If you are replacing your mobile phone why not get paid for recycling the old one? The EcoList has teamed up with Envirofone to help you do just that. Check your make of phone on their website, send it to them for recycling and they will pay you (dependent on the age and make) for doing it. Even if your phone has been down the back of a sofa for years and is so old that it no longer has any value, they will still recycle it for free. Visit Envirofone
