Company

easy2cool GmbH is a company which specialises in individual, passive cooling solutions and provides holistic cooling concepts for the protection of temperature-sensitive goods.

We wanted to create a sustainable alternative for insulating packaging which would be second to none in terms of performance and transport safety. Insulation systems for cooling shipment are usually made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and plastics. Due to high energy demand for production and enormously problematic disposal, an immense pollution for climate, water and soil evolves. The solution: a new sustainable insulation material, that we have developed in a joint research project with TU Dresden. The basic material is simple and efficient at the same time – recycled paper!

Our product range includes solutions for end users as well as cooling systems for transport and logistics. Depending on the application, these concepts are customised for our clients in terms of size and performance to ensure the best possible implementation.

At the event, Economics Minister Peter Altmaier praised the award winners as “the pulsating powerhouse of our national economy and a constant source of entrepreneurial creativity”.

Since 2015, we produce our insulation packaging and cooling packs at our facility in Lichtenfels (Upper Franconia, Bavaria) – ensuring highest flexibility and quality!
