Sustainability
Sustainable Food Movement
FoodCap’s business is leading change in wholesale and retail food handling and transport.
Our insulated reusable and recyclable products enable food to be transported from harvest to further processing, or further processing to consumer, eliminating single use plastic packaging, with less refrigeration, less ice and with a lower carbon footprint compared to existing material handling solutions.
We are proud to have developed all our circular economy products in collaboration with our global customers, including Walmart USA and Sainsbury’s UK.
Our products and systems make a real difference for users, their consumers and, ultimately, our planet.
FoodCap specialises in four areas:
FishCap
For seafood processors and retailers, we’re turning the tide on single use packaging with reusable FishCap seafood packaging. These sustain the hygiene, temperature and quality of seafood raw material. FishCap eliminates single use Polystyrene / Styrofoam packaging waste and pollution generated between seafood harvest and further processing.
FreshCap
We’re turning the tide on unsustainable grocery online handling processes, costs, and environmental impacts. FreshCap is a multi-reuse thermal eco-system that streamlines front-of-store order picking, back-of-store order staging and the Grocery Online cost-to-serve in home-delivery and customer-collection. FreshCap enables a transition to ambient grocery delivery in an electric fleet without constraining distance or payload.
FoodCap
Our new generation consumer coolers are built tough for work or play. Made from a proprietary long-life reusable and fully recyclable high-performance thermal material, these coolers deliver high-end-cooler performance at budget-cooler-prices. Take them to the beach, BBQ, out on the boat, in the back country camping, or tailgating at your favourite ballgame.

Supporting the Planet
Our business practices align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals for sustainability, resource conservation, waste and plastic pollution minimisation, innovation and partnerships for economic growth and prosperity.
This is what we’re doing to meet global sustainability goals.
Goal 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth
We offer competitive remuneration packages and promote work/life balance
We preserve local jobs through manufacturing in the countries we operate in including the United States and United Kingdom
Goal 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure
With our partners we are bringing a system change to the seafood industry making the transfer of raw material more sustainable and intelligent.
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption & Production
We are driving the principles of the circular economy in the global food industry. Originally starting in chilled meat handling and more recently, reusable material handling solutions in seafood and online grocery, our solutions enable the prevention of waste and conservation of resources.
Goal 13: Climate Action
We develop multi-reuse circular material handling systems that eliminate single use packaging. To date, our circular packaging solutions have eliminated hundreds of millions of single use cardboard cartons and plastic vacuum bags, tens of thousands of wooden pallets and millions of miles of single use plastic pallet wrap and carton strapping.
Our newest target is to eliminate millions of single use polystyrene fish boxes annually.
Goal 14: Life Below Water
We are dedicated to reducing the global seafood industry’s reliance on single use polystyrene / styrofoam boxes. They are known to contribute to microplastic waste in our oceans and affect our fragile marine food chain.
Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals
Working with partner companies in the US, UK, EU, Norway and Turkey to develop new products and smart technologies to safely and sustainably store, transfer and track perishable food between harvest and further processing. By collaborating in innovation, we all benefit.
