Once my children reached an age where they began taking lunch to school, l knew I needed to start looking for a reusable lunchbox that was not only fun and durable, but also met some decent sustainability and Eco-friendly standards. Over the years we’ve tried a few different types, and for the most part I’ve been happy with our choices. Yet, despite their making it through the entire school year (with lots of washings might I add) the lunchboxes still seemed too worn and torn to make an encore appearance the following Fall. So this school year we’ve upped our game plan and decided to send the kids to school with lunches packed in a Planetbox.
Made from stainless steel, Planetbox uses the lunch tray concept, which allows you to pack different foods in individual compartments. A tight fitting lid closes down over the tray and latches closed, helping to keep those foods securely in place. The Planetbox fits snugly inside of a washable carry bag that is made out of 100% recycled fibers from plastic bottles (how cool is that?). The outside of the zippered carry bag comes with a water bottle holder and a snack sized pocket with a Velcro flap top. Inside, a mesh pouch is the perfect size to hold a cloth napkin or eating utensil. Decorative magnets come with a Plantebox (you can choose from a variety of themes) adding some extra fun for the kids, not to mention some much needed color to the otherwise plain and institutional look of stainless steel.
Planetbox offers additional products as well, such as different size sealed containers made to fit into several compartments, and perfect for packing “wet” foods.
