Igloo, Teva Create Cooler, Sandal With Recycled Materials

Two nostalgic brands, Igloo and Teva, have teamed up to create a limited-edition collection featuring recycled materials. The new Teva x Igloo Ecocool Little Playmate and Teva x Igloo Hurricane XLT2 sandal were inspired by nature’s varied terrain and meant to fuel off-the-grid adventures. This collection is available from Igloo and Teva, and at select REI stores and REI.com, through an exclusive retail partnership.

At the center of this collaboration is both brands’ commitment to making better decisions for the planet. Igloo and Teva merged their expertise in enabling modern adventure through classic coolers and versatile sandals to create an adventure-ready collection crafted with recycled materials.

The 7-quart Teva x Igloo Ecocool Little Playmate features post-consumer recycled plastic in the outside body, lid and liner of the world-famous cooler and is part of Igloo’s Ecocool Collection of hardside coolers made with a recycled resin compound that repurposes discarded plastic yogurt cups and milk jugs. As a special addition, Igloo reintroduced its adjustable carrying strap on the Teva Ecocool Playmate, now woven with Repreve performance fiber that’s made from recycled plastic bottles and incorporates a unique design inspired by Mother Nature.

In perfect alignment, the durable Teva x Igloo Hurricane XLT2 sandal matches the splash-ready shoulder strap of the Ecocool Little Playmate, featuring the same Repreve material made from recycled plastic. Once well-worn and ready to retire, the iconic Hurricane XLT2 can be recycled through the TevaForever sandal recycling program.

The limited-edition Teva x Igloo Ecocool Little Playmate, $55, and Teva x Igloo Hurricane XLT2 Sandal, $80, are available for purchase, while supplies last.
