Raw material
Voos - Akkale Automotive
Sound offcuts left over from the production process of VOOS, a manufacturer of insulation for the automotive industry, which would normally be incinerated, have been collected for Chill Tube.
Chill Tube
Minimal shell. Maximum chill.
A bottle sleeve cut from the same 7-layer automotive thermal offcuts as Bold Cool — ultra-light, tarpaulin-free, and built to keep a 70cl wine or 1.5L water bottle cold for hours.
Repurposing waste materials reduces overall waste and drives more efficient use of resources, cutting environmental footprint across the supply chain.
Repurposing processes run on minimal energy and carbon output compared with virgin-material production, contributing concrete steps against climate change.
Delivered through collaboration across independent businesses in three countries — proof that cross-sector partnerships can scale sustainable production.
Keep it cold.
