Importance of Dry Ice in South Africa 

Dry ice is critical for South Africa’s food, healthcare, and event industries, especially during load shedding. A 2025 Cape Business News report states dry ice reduces food spoilage costs by 30% during transport, vital for Western Cape’s fisheries and Gauteng’s catering sector. Its non-toxic, residue-free nature eliminates water waste, aligning with environmental regulations.

A 2024 Journal of Cleaner Production study notes dry ice’s 40% lower environmental impact compared to traditional cooling, making it a sustainable choice for South African businesses. 

Our Top Dry Ice Products

To ensure that we are able to meet all of the unique needs of our clients, we have created an extensive product range, covering every possible requirement.

• Dry Ice Pellets

Dry ice pellets have two uses. They are used for dry ice blasting, a highly effective cleaning technique that is used in heavy industries to remove tough stains and marks that are not all that easy to get rid of. Along with being an effective cleaning tool when used with the right machinery, dry ice pellets can also be used for cooling perishable items, either when they are being moved, or when they are being stored.

• Dry Ice Blocks

To keep frozen food frozen, or to make sure that products being transported over long distances stay fresh, using dry ice blocks is one of the best options at your disposal. Dry ice blocks stay ice cold for long periods of time and they come in all shapes and sizes.

• Polystyrene Ice Boxes

Perfect for market vendors and those transporting smaller products, the polystyrene ice box is designed to keep the cold trapped in and to preserve whatever it is that you store.

• Cooler Boxes

Heavy duty cooler boxes, made from UV stabilised materials, are ideal for transporting and storing bigger items that need to remain cold.
