ISPO PARTNER 2020: HDWool® – Customised active insulation

When looking at bio based materials, renewable animal products are one of the key resources. Wool is traditionally the most commonly used. HDWool® provides experience with ethically grown British wool and a transparent and traceable route to the source. 

#biobased #biodegradable

HDWool® has been a partner of the GRV #woollove showcase in 2018, 2019 and we are excited to have them again. If you would like to meet HDWool® personally, then come and hear them speak at the guided GRV Transparency Tour on Tuesday the 28th of Januars at 11.00 am.

Designed with the lowest carbon footprint in mind, HDWool® insulation is manufactured with maximum waste recovery and without the use of harmful chemicals. An ecological alternative, graded as 100% renewable and biodegradable.

HDWool® is a highly breathable and natural form of temperature regulation which keeps you cooler in the heat and warm in the cold. Simple to care for and odour resistant.

They will be offering a traceability programme for the end consumer to trace back products of HDWool® from June 2019 as they are  focussed on nurturing the virtuous cycle of wool back to farm.
