Some plastic lunchboxes contain harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates, which can leach into food, especially when heated or when containing acidic or fatty foods. BPA, a chemical used in some plastics, has been linked to potential health risks, particularly for infants and children.

Food-grade stainless and silicone are non-porus and non-toxic.

Stainless steel and silicone are durable - this should be the only lunchbox you buy! Stainless steel is also 100% recyclable, making it a more sustainable choice compared to plastic.

Plastic lunchboxes, like other plastic products, are a major contributor to plastic pollution.They can take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills, and when they do, they can break down into microplastics, which contaminate soil, water, and air.

Stainless steel is highly durable and can withstand daily use and even minor impacts without rusting or corroding.

Our bentos are also easy to clean and maintain, either by hand or in the dishwasher.
