A typical lunch box would have a foil or cling film wrapped sandwich, a cling film wrapped group of mixed veggies, maybe a plastic container of applesauce, and a juice box. While the components are pretty good, why does the packaging have to be so wasteful? (Both material AND money).
There are lots of ways to be sustainable without making a huge change AND without you spending way to much money.
If something is beyond your budget, just think of it as an investment. You’ll only buy it once and it’ll last a long time; You won’t have to keep buying more because you’re trashing the used ones.
Here are some products you can get from EcoLunchBox that you can keep reusing and it’s all safe for you.
*EcoNapkins:
We throw away so many tissues and napkins with every single meal. Why not have a napkin that we can just reuse? These napkins are easy to wash, artisan made, and reusable! They come in a set of two and with a drawstring bag to hold your napkins and utensils.
*EcoLunchbox Dipper:
What’s great about this is that it’s plastic free, stainless steel, BPA/BPS free and it’s compact that it can work with everything.
*Reusable Sandwich Box:
This box is awesome for lunches because it doesn’t squish your lovely PB n J sandwiches, it’s reusable, and it can carry a good sized lunch.
And what I love about all of these ,is you can pretty much use them for everything else! They’re food safe so that’s great for all your edibles but you can use them for soaps, lotions, etc.
