Award-nominated sustainable packaging
Our collaboration with Mindful Chef has been recognised at the Packaging News Sustainability & Impact Awards 2026.
Together, we developed a fully closed-loop, thermally insulated packaging solution designed to keep food fresher for longer, while supporting a more circular system.
By working in close partnership with Mindful Chef, the packaging experts at Smurfit Westrock created a paper-based recipe box that combines insulation performance with sustainability credentials.
It’s a great example of what can be achieved when we work together to solve packaging challenges differently.

Why choose cardboard packaging over EPS foam?
EPS foam
- Difficult to recycle EPS insulated cardboard boxes
- Fragile and can break easily
- Lightweight and easy to handle
- Bulky chilled packaging takes up a lot of storage space
Insulated cardboard
- Sustainable EPS alternative
- Strong thermal performance for extended periods
- Plastic-free chilled packaging, no single-use plastics
- Durable, stackable and space-saving
- Can be fully branded and customised
