ECO LUNCH BOX
Healthy for People & the Planet
ECOlunchbox was born of the idea that change can begin at lunchtime.
ECO LUNCH BOX STORY
Sandra Harris is a mother of two school-age children and her usual daily routine was packing lunch for them.
Her major concern was that she was relying too much on disposable plastic which is petroleum based questioning it from a common sense perspective. She thought to herself “how healthy can it be to put our food in all those baggies and containers that are made of petroleum based plastic”? Her kid’s lunchtime routine needed to change!
Sandra wanted to eliminate plastics from her kids' lunchboxes to reduce their exposure to the leachy toxins, like BPA and phthalates, commonly found in such products. That is how ECO Lunch Box was born! Sandra set out to design a plastic-free line of bento lunch boxes, bags and food-to-go accessories that are healthy for people and the planet.
Since it was founded ECOlunchbox has grown beyond her initial vision and the company sold over 800,000 boxes so far contributing to reduction of tens of millions pieces of trash!
