A Step Towards Greener Packaging
At CoolLED, we’ve always been committed to delivering the highest quality products to our customers. As part of our ongoing efforts to contribute positively to the environment, we are pleased to announce a significant overhaul of our packaging. This initiative marks another step in our broader sustainability drive, ensuring that our operations continue to align with our values of responsibility and long-term environmental care.
The new packaging is designed to be as sustainable as possible, with each element chosen to reduce waste and promote recyclability. Our aim is not only to provide cutting-edge LED illumination systems but also to do so in a way that has a minimal impact on the environment.
FSC Certified Cardboard
One of the core changes we’ve made is the switch to FSC Certified cardboard for all our packaging. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification ensures that the paper and cardboard we use come from responsibly managed forests, where trees are harvested in a way that preserves biodiversity, supports communities, and ensures that forests can regenerate.
This certification is a crucial part of our effort to minimise the environmental impact of our packaging. Using FSC Certified materials means that every box we send out is part of a more sustainable supply chain, where the source of the materials is verified and audited.
Fully Recyclable and Compostable
All our packaging is now fully recyclable and compostable, further reducing the waste that ends up in landfills. This is a key consideration in our commitment to environmental responsibility. By ensuring that our packaging materials are not only recyclable but also compostable, we provide customers with the option to dispose of the packaging in the most sustainable way possible.
We understand the importance of making it easy for our customers to dispose of packaging responsibly, and we’ve taken steps to ensure that every aspect of our packaging, from the box itself to the tape we use, is as eco-friendly as possible.
Water-Based Inks
In line with our commitment to sustainability, we have also switched to using water-based inks for printing our packaging. Unlike traditional solvent-based inks, water-based inks contain fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and are less harmful to both the environment and human health.
The use of water-based inks is a small but important change that helps reduce our carbon footprint and makes the packaging even more eco-friendly.
Recyclable Paper Tape
We’ve also introduced recyclable paper tape as a way to reduce the use of plastic-based packaging materials. This change ensures that every part of the packaging is either recyclable or compostable. Paper tape is strong, secure, and serves the same function as plastic tape but without the environmental cost.
While these changes may seem small individually, they are part of a much larger effort to ensure that CoolLED continues to operate sustainably and responsibly.
A Commitment to Sustainability
This overhaul of our packaging is just one of the many steps we’re taking as part of our commitment to sustainability. It’s a natural progression for us as a company that has always been dedicated to both quality and environmental responsibility. We’re not just looking to make our operations more efficient; we’re looking to create a positive environmental impact at every level of our business.
We believe that being sustainable is not just about making grand gestures or using it as a marketing tool – it’s about genuinely integrating it into the way we do business. Our customers can feel confident that when they purchase from CoolLED, they are supporting a company that is actively working to reduce its environmental impact.

We are committed to continuing our sustainability journey, making improvements wherever we can, and ensuring that our products are as responsible as they are innovative.
