Light, unbreakable, dishwasher safe, food safe. Perfect for work, school, kindergarten, picnics. Fits in a small backpack. The right size for a sandwich and a few snacks.
What it contains: A durable bioplastic lunchbox 18.5cm x 12.5cm x 5cm
Feel great about where it comes from:
Raw materials from Europe? No - sugarcane doesn't grow here - Brazil (sugarcane leftovers), Germany (natural mineral: lime)
Organic? No
Manufactured in Europe? Yes - Germany
What's it made from? Bioplastic - an innovative, carbon-neutral material made from the leftovers after sugarcane is harvested. It's carbon-neutral because plants absorb carbon as they grow - whereas petroleum-based plastic has a carbon footprint of up to 6 times its own weight in CO2. Bioplastic is fully recyclable at end of life along with petro-plastics. Think of it as FairTrade coffee - looks the same, tastes the same, but has a very different impact on the world because of how it's produced.
What's it packaged in? Nothing
Shipping packaging from manufacturer to us: Cardboard only
Plastic-free? 100% free from petroleum-derived plastic - made from bioplastic, see above for the difference
Vegan? Yes
Animal-cruelty-free? Yes
Reused upcycled or recycled? No
Feel great about where it goes after you've used it:
Biodegradable / compostable? No
Reusable / refillable? Yes
