Why plastic-free food packaging?
Demand for online shipping has continued to rise in recent years - also in the sensitive food sector. Not only the choice of suppliers and the simplicity of ordering, but also the security of orders has increased.
However, the mail order business in particular is extremely resource-intensive due to the amount of packaging materials used and therefore has a massive impact on the environment. Insulating packaging made from sheep's wool are a sustainable, ecological and healthy alternative with countless advantages over conventional plastic packaging.
Advantages of packaging made from sheep's wool

Sustainable through and through
IDeal Insulated
Sheep's wool naturally achieves the best insulation values, as its thermal conductivity is just 0.035 W/mK. This means that even food up to 48 hours fresh which our partners and their customers have often put to the test in everyday shipping. Packaging made from sheep's wool can therefore easily keep up with other conventional packaging such as polystyrene. Perfect for optimum insulation during transport.


Food-friendly
Sheep's wool works hygroscopic. This means it can be used up to bind 33 % of their own weight in moisture.
What does this mean for the food parcel? If the humidity in the package is too high, the sheep's wool absorbs the moisture. If the air is too dry, it releases it again. Sheep's wool also has a great property, easy to neutralise odours.
