See ya, Styrofoam: We test the Igloo Recool, a $10 biodegradable cooler

Old, but good: Cheap Styrofoam coolers get the job done if you just want to keep a couple of drinks cold, but they typically end up in landfills, where they can take hundreds of years to break down, if not longer. Now, Igloo has an alternative that won’t fill you with green guilt during your next trip to the beach.


Made from recycled tree pulp and available for now for $10 each, the Igloo Recool is a green-minded alternative to disposable coolers made from Styrofoam. But can it get you through a day at the beach?
