Refrigerants
Bricks
What is it?
Koolit® foam bricks consist of water-saturated foam encased in a plastic pouch. All Koolit refrigerants are made of high quality, non-toxic materials but are not intended for human consumption.
Recommended Disposal: These water-based Koolit refrigerants are suitable for disposal in normal waste streams. To recycle, simply cut open a foam brick and dispose of its solid content in the normal waste stream. The pouch may be recycled in centers that accept plastic.
Gels
What is it?
Koolit® gel packs consist of a water-soluble starch or cellulose in a plastic pouch. All Koolit refrigerants are made of high quality,
non-toxic materials but are not intended for human consumption.
Recommended Disposal: These water-based Koolit refrigerants are suitable for disposal in normal waste streams. To recycle, simply cut open a thawed gel pack and dispose of its liquid content in the normal waste stream. The pouch may be recycled in centers that accept plastic.
Bottles
What is it?
Koolit® bottles consist of a water-soluble starch or cellulose in a plastic molded bottle. All Koolit refrigerants are made of high quality, non-toxic materials but are not intended for human consumption.
Recommended Disposal: These water-based Koolit refrigerants are suitable for disposal in normal waste streams. To recycle, simply cut open a thawed gel pack and dispose of its liquid content in the normal waste stream. The plastic bottle may be recycled in centers that accept plastic.
PCMs (Phase Change Materials)
What is it?
Koolit® Advanced PCM GEL is the industry’s first shape stable organic PCM. All Koolit refrigerant PCMs are made of high quality, non-toxic materials but are not for human consumption.
Recommended Disposal: These PCMs are safe for disposal in normal waste streams. They are suitable for reuse. In addition, we do not recommend disassembling the PCM in an attempt to recycle the film.
Liquid PCMs (Phase Change Materials)
What is it?
Koolit® Liquid Refrigerant PCMs consist of an organic oil-based phase change material, similar to mineral oil, in a plastic pouch. All Koolit refrigerant PCMs are made of high quality, non-toxic materials but are not for human consumption.
Recommended Disposal: We recommend and encourage these PCMs be disposed of appropriately or returned to CCT. PCMs are oils that, while may be safe for disposal, must meet all Federal, State and Local regulations. If not being returned to CCT, we recommend that local oil recyclers be contacted for proper disposal.
Reuse of all Koolit® Refrigerants
For non-qualified applications, all Koolit Refrigerants are reusable as long as there are no signs of damage. For qualified applications they must also meet the original manufacturing specifications (weight & dimensions) to successfully be reusable. To verify these specifications, an internal quality program should be implemented.
Typically shelf-life of most of Koolit Refrigerant products is 12 months from the date of manufacture which is printed on each individual unit. Storage and use conditions can increase or decrease this time considerably.

Insulated Containers
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
KoolTemp® EPS containers are, in the broadest sense, a 100% recyclable lightweight rigid cellular plastic that contain 98% air and is completely inert. Most of these products are encased in a 100% paper-board corrugated box. All KoolTemp EPS containers are made of high quality, non-toxic materials but are not intended for human consumption.
Recommended Disposal: KoolTemp EPS containers can be disposed of in the normal waste stream, reused or recycled. EPS may be brought to designated drop-off locations, recycling centers that accept polystyrene (#6), or sent to mail-back locations. EPS may also be safely combusted according to federal, state and local regulations; it releases water vapor, carbon dioxide, and trace levels of ash. For a detailed review of EPS and the environment please visit our manufacturer partner’s website www.reuseps.com.
Polyurethane (PUR)
What is it?
KoolTemp® PUR containers are made of rigid polyurethane. They do not contain CFCs and HCFCs which are known to reduce the atmospheric ozone. Most of these products are encased in a 100% paper-board corrugated box. All KoolTemp PUR containers are made of high quality, non-toxic materials but are not intended for human consumption.
Recommended Disposal: KoolTemp PUR containers can be disposed of in the normal waste stream, recycled or reused. For more information on recycling please visit www.plasticsmarkets.org.
