ECOlunchbox Review

We are going green for back to school with a little help from ECOlunchbox!

I received the following in exchange for an honest review:

When the school year begins so too does the waste from traditional school lunch boxes. You have sandwich baggies, paper towels and even plastic spoons and forks that will all be used once and then thrown away.

ECO Lunchbox offers better alternatives that are waste-free: 

Stainless Steel, Cotton, and Bamboo!

This year, my daughter will be sporting her own Stainless Steel Solo Cube in her lunch box. 

This non-toxic sandwich box is plastic-free, lead-free, BPA-free, phthalate-free and waste-free. They are dishwasher safe but not for use in the microwave. You CAN reheat foods using this cube in medium-hot oven! This will definitely last us long time, it won't retain stains, odors or residues and its UNBREAKABLE! 

The nifty little ECOStainless Spork is another awesome addition to her lunch box this year! Perfect for ages 5-105 (ECO Lunchbox recommends the EcoKidSpork for children under 5)  this spork has a generous sized spoon on one end and three tines on the other which pretty much covers all bases as far as school lunches go.

Not to be under-stated, the ECOnapkin will save the most trees in this bunch. These reusable cotton napkins will replace all paper towels we may be tempted to use.  They come in a variety of colors and patterns and are hand block printed.

You can buy these products and more at ECOlunchbox.com.

Back to School Tips & Tricks at Lunchtime

Everyday a mountain of trash is needlessly thrown away at lunchtime, creating environmental problems, health hazards and wasting hundreds of dollars for every family packing a lunch. School trash bins nationwide are overflowing!

Have you ever thought about going green at lunchtime? ECOlunchbox is an elegant solution to the problem of lunch waste. With news about the health dangers of plastics growing, green consumers are seeking out non-plastic food containers as well as generally avoiding potentially leachy synthetics when it comes to food packing. 

Plastic water bottles. Granola bar plastic packaging. Plastic chip baggies. Plasticized cardboard juice boxes. Cheese stick plastic wrappers. Paper napkins. Plastic yogurt cups. Brown bags. Plastic utensils. Plastic Ziploc baggies. 

How to Pack A Waste-Free Lunch: 

• Cloth napkins by ECOlunchbox are great for everyday and make great gifts 

• Snacks packed in nifty stainless steel ECOdippers and ECOpods by ECOlunchbox are healthy for people and our planet. 

• Sandwiches, and other main dishes, fresh fruits and, fresh vegetables, and treats packed in a non-toxic & reusable stainless steel ECOlunchbox bento
