EcoLunchbox: Healthy for the People & the Planet
What’s for lunch? You hope it’s not toxic lead, plastic and vinyl. And whatever delicious, nutritious food you’ve packed should fill up your tummy – not the garbage can, too.
Yet so often these days we can’t be sure our lunchboxes are non-toxic and waste-free.
There are surprisingly few options to the standard vinyl, insulated lunchboxes that are so widely and cheaply available through big-box retailers.
And when it comes to filling our lunchboxes with food for school or the office, we reflexively turn to the usual plastic containers and throw-aways, such as plastic baggies, plastic tub containers, juice boxes, questionably safe plastic drinking bottles and pre-packaged supermarket snacks, like yogurts, chips and crackers.
EcoLunchboxes are a sensible, back-to-the-basics reaction to the potential health risks associated with standard lunchboxes as well as the shocking amount of waste created by the packaging in typical U.S. lunchboxes.

EcoLunchbox Oval
Tired of using Tupperware and other plastics? But you don't have other options for packing food for lunch? Try our BPA-free eco lunchbox made out of high-quality, food-grade stainless steel.
•Large oval lunchbox measures 6 1/2 inches long by 5 inches wide and 2 inches tall. Stainless steel food container fits two halves of a sandwich stacked with room for sides. Also great for pastas, salads and other leftovers.
•Lunchbox set includes a small stainless steel cup (3 1/2" diameter) with a no-leak, BPA-free plastic lid for sauces, dressings, yogurt, applesauce or other wet items. The cup fits inside the larger oval box or can be used separately.
• We have chosen not to use any plastic or other gaskets in the pressure-fitting lid of the oval box, so it's not 100% leak proof. Soups and other very wet items should be put in the small sauce cup with the plastic lid.
• Independently lab tested as lead free, food-safe grade 304 stainless steel.
• Dishwasher safe. Not for use in the microwave. Made in Thailand.

EcoLunchbox 3-in-1
Ready to say goodbye to plastic baggies and other leachy plastic food containers? Try our three-in-one stainless steel bento box! This nifty BPA-free lunchbox is great for packing a child's lunch, which typically contains three items: a sandwich and two side dishes. Most children prefer their foods served separately... because they don't like them mixed up, so our bento box-style lunchbox fits the bill perfectly. It's great for adults, too, so long as serving sizes are not too big.
• 2-layer stainless steel bento box with upstairs inner box. Dishwasher safe. No plastic. Closures are kid-tested and will not snap little fingers.
• When closed, the lunch box measures 4 inches wide, 5 1/2 inches long and 2 3/4 inches high. The bottom layer is 1 inch deep and fits a whole sandwich on sliced bread. The top layer is 1 1/2 inches deep and fits cut fruit, dry snacks, pasta or salad.
• The small inner box, which contains 1/2 cup of wet foods, is good for applesauce, cut fruit and salads, but its pressure fitting stainless steel lid is not 100% leak-proof because no plastic is used. Made in India.
• Independently lab tested as lead-free, food-safe, series 205 stainless steel. Made in India. |

Stainless Steel Spork
• Nifty is a perfect word for this sleek stainless steel spork ideal for ages 5 to 105. (We think the EcoKidSpork is the best bet for children under age 5.)
• With a generous size bowl for scooping on one end and three tines to pluck pasta, fruit or whatever on the other, this is a very versatile, durable and ultra-reusable utensil.
• The spork measures 3 1/4 inches long overall and is constructed of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel.
• Sold in sets of 4. Tuck one in your lunchbox, keep one in your glove box, a third in your purse and give the fourth to a friend.
• Dishwasher safe. Made in China.
