We get asked all the time why our lunchware is worth it. Here’s why our materials are worth the switch: not only do they LAST (no more replacing plastic lunchboxes that only last a term or two), we're confident that they're better not only your health but the health of the planet.
We’re really passionate about creating products that align with our Sustainable Lunchware mission so you can buy once and buy well! That’s why our incredible product team designs our Lunchware Range from sustainable materials like food-safe stainless steel, silicone, GOTS-certified organic cotton, and PEVA lining with FDA & LFGB certification (for more information on the benefits of FDA & LFGB benefits check out this blog).
Food-Safe Stainless Steel: Durable and Safe
Stainless steel is a powerhouse material for lunchware. It’s non-toxic, non-reactive, and won’t leach chemicals into your food. Beyond its safety benefits, stainless steel is incredibly durable, meaning it’ll stand up to daily use for years to come. Choosing stainless steel over single-use plastic containers can significantly reduce waste, making it a win for both you and the environment.
FDA & LFGB-Certified Silicone: Flexible and Long-Lasting
Silicone is an excellent alternative to plastic, especially when it’s certified by FDA and LFGB standards. These certifications ensure that the material is food-safe and free from harmful chemicals. Silicone is lightweight, flexible, and perfect for items like lids, snack pouches, and reusable food wraps. Its durability means it won’t crack or degrade like plastic, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Plus, these containers are leakproof and oh, so pretty!
GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton: Naturally Sustainable
For our fabric-based lunchware, CrunchCases™ and Insulated Lunch Bags, we use GOTS-certified organic cotton. This certification guarantees that the cotton is grown without harmful pesticides and processed without toxic dyes. Organic cotton is not only better for the planet but also safer for your family. Plus, its breathable nature helps keep food fresh naturally.
LFGB-Certified PEVA Lining: A Safer Coating
Our CrunchCases™ and Insulated Lunch Bags feature LFGB-certified PEVA linings, a safer alternative to traditional plastic coatings. This certification ensures the material meets high European food safety standards, giving you peace of mind that it’s free from harmful substances. PEVA is water-resistant, lightweight, and durable—making it perfect for keeping spills contained and lunches fresh. Our team debated long and hard about whether to use PEVA in our lunchware range (believe me!) but the reality was that there was no alternative to achieve our mission of creating long-lasting lunchware that was hygienic, easy to clean, machine washable and would stand the test of time.
Why It Matters
By choosing lunchware made from these materials, you’re making a conscious decision to prioritise your health and the planet. Durable and sustainable materials mean fewer replacements, less waste, and a lighter environmental footprint. You’re also supporting a shift away from single-use plastics, which is a major contributor to global pollution.
