We at the Wisconsin Grass-fed Beef Cooperative/Wisconsin Meadows are proud to announce that we will now be using EcoMax® Cool insulated liners for shipping our frozen meat to your door!

EcoMax® Cool insulated liners are a fully sustainable solution for our shipping boxes, that are made of recycled materials, are 100% curbside recyclable, and provide superior insulation properties, compared with our current extruded polystyrene (aka styrofoam) cooler inserts. We are thrilled to start using these new EcoMax® Cool liners immediately, and we know that you share our excitement. 

Our cooperative has been searching for an environmentally friendly packaging solution for some time and finally located a product that is both cost efficient and, more importantly, has a positive environmental impact. Just like our members care about being stewards of their land, we also care about making sure that stewardship ethic continues all the way to your door, protecting the land and resources for generations to come. Switching to this eco-friendly packaging is just one more step toward fulfilling that goal.

EcoMax® Cool inserts are a superior product that provide the highest-performing cold chain insulation for refrigerated and frozen shipments. They are paper-based cold-chain packaging that are inserted into a corrugated cardboard box. EcoMax® Cool inserts are made of recycled materials and are 100% curbside recyclable. They sustain temperatures longer than Styrofoam (EPS), starch, and cotton as compared to shipping in the same conditions. The high-quality liners block-out heat and lock-in cold, making it a perfect solution for shipping our 100% Grass-fed Beef and Pastured Pork products across the Midwest anytime of the year right to our customers’ doorsteps.

In the coming weeks, when you order Wisconsin Meadows products, be happy when you receive our new packaging which protects our products to keep them safe and frozen throughout the shipping process. And the best part? You can fully recycle all the shipping packaging…insulation and all!

From all of us at the Wisconsin Grass-fed Beef Cooperative, please look forward to our new packaging with your next order, and thank you for continuing to choose local, family-owned Wisconsin Meadows products!
