***Thermogard 800gm Gel Ice Pack***
12 cell 800 gram coolant pack.
Dimensions (L x W) 380mm x 290mm
Gel Packs stay at a lower temperature longer than ice. Contents of each cell are a non-toxic gel and safe to use with septic tank systems.
Thermogard has you covered for sustainable use and are durable enough to be reused time and time again.
For disposal you can empty gel into your garden for better water retention.
The gel when mixed with salt will turn to liquid and can be drained down your sink.
Plastic can be dropped off at a local soft plastics drop off point (not kerbside recyclable).
To freeze gel packs lay each on a flat surface in the freezer for 24hrs.
I have a few of these available and great for lining your chilly bin.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
