Green Is Cool The cooler giant continues to break away from traditional materials with its commitment to being eco savvy. IGLOO ECOCOOL LITTLE PLAYMATE The iconic Little Playmate 7-quart cooler is the first of its kind to be made with Igloo's Ecocool post-consumer-recycled resin. Items like discarded plastic yogurt cups and milk jugs are recycled to create Igloo's new resin, which is then used in making the Ecocool series coolers' outside bodies and lids. This significantly cuts back on greenhouse gas emissions and saves up to 88% of energy compared to utilizing virgin plastics. The coolers are made in the USA. $25 | igloocoolers.com | Available: Now | Contact: jdiamond@igloocorp.com 28 OUTDOOR RETAILER / June 2021 Words by Cameron Martindell Photograph by Andrew Kornylakhttp://www.igloocoolers.com
