9 Eco-Friendly Beach Essentials That Are Kind to the Planet
Planning to hit the coast this summer? Put your dollars to good use by investing in these sustainable picks.
The most eco-friendly action is to not buy anything at all—but if you're looking for a new beach towel, picnic supplies, or swim trunks before hitting the water, we've got the scoop on brands that are big on style yet easy on the earth.
Igloo Recool Cooler
Igloo's new RECOOL cooler was created to provide an alternative to environmentally harmful foam coolers. Made entirely from biodegradable materials, RECOOL can biodegrade and return to the Earth after use, rather than polluting our environment or filling a landfill. RECOOL is durable and won't chip or scratch easily or make annoying squeaking noises like foam coolers. RECOOL has a 16 quart capacity which is big enough to fit plenty of drinks, ice, and food for an all-day adventure for a family of four. Cup holders and an easy-grab handle are built into the lid and the cooler features molded handles on the sides, making it easy to grab and go. RECOOL is patent pending and made right here in the USA!
