From plastic cutlery to bags to plastic containers that only last a short period of time, lunchtime can easily become one of the most wasteful parts of the day! Not only that, but studies have shown that storing and cooking food in plastic containers can transfer some unwanted toxins into your meal as well. Would you like a side of BPA with that?
ECOlunchbox understands that plastic-free products are better for oceans and our environment. Their products are made to provide the same benefits that you may get from traditional plastic containers, without the harmful environmental effects of plastic waste. Only 1% of plastic ends up getting recycled, with the remaining 99% ending up in our landfills and oceans. These plastic pieces can get trapped in the digestive systems of marine life, and can leach harmful toxins into our groundwater.
By turning to silicone and food-grade stainless steel, they can offer a leak-proof, dishwasher safe product, without the harmful effects of plastic! Not only are stainless steel containers easy to clean, non-toxic, and durable, but it can also be indefinitely recycled, and is a very valuable recyclable commodity. To create a leak-proof experience, they turn to silicone for their lids! Silicone is much more durable and will last much longer than plastic, can be recycled, and does not contain BPA or BPS like plastic.
ECOlunchbox doesnât just talk about their intent to make the world a better place, they measure their results in real-time. Annually, the companyâs product sales divert over 32 million pounds of trash that would have been generated from plastic use at lunchtime. This is equivalent to annually offsetting the CO2 equivalent of 6 million pounds of coal burned, driving 13 million miles in a car, or planting 58,000 tree seedlings. As a fellow B Corp, ECOlunchbox has also committed to upholding some of the most rigorous standards for social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
ECOlunchboxes products have empowered tens of thousands of families to say good-bye to plastics at lunchtime and helped to safeguard our health and the planet.Â

Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.

GOTS certified products are labeled organic if they contain 95% or more certified organic fibers, and are labeled as “made with organic” if they contain at least 70% organic fibers. GOTS assures that textiles are produced with socially responsible labor and environmentally conscious manufacturing. Certified textiles must follow guidelines on chemical use, energy and water consumption, safety and living standards for employees, waste produced throughout the manufacture process, and more.
