Back To School Time! Why We Love PlanetBox Lunchboxes - Bamboo Village

July 07,2024

The kids are heading back to school shortly and soon it'll be back into the school-run routine! Rise and shine, breakfast, get dressed, brush teeth, grab their lunch box&nbsp;If your kids take a packed lunch to school, have you considered how eco-friendly you can make their lunch?&nbsp;Our favourite eco friendly lunch box at the moment is&nbsp;PlanetBox. They are food-safe stainless steel lunch boxes that keep food separate and everything fresh. Have your kids ever moaned about one thing running into another by the time lunch rolls around? (Apple sticks smell like tuna or mayo, for instance). When you unpack their box when they got home too, it can feel like you’re generating a lot of packaging waste every day!This lunchbox completely takes away these issues, and is outstanding for the environment, replacing your plastic bags and paper for a lunchbox.PlanetBox boxes are ideal for packing delicious meals with no waste for work, school or travelling on the go. They aren't your typical metal lunch box; these are for the green generation!They offer several different designs (and are for adults too!), but all of them come with a stainless steel lunchbox, an insulated carry bag with packets, one or two leak proof containers with lids, and magnets which kids will love. They also sell things such as ice packs to keep things cool.Making lunches becomes much more fun with these boxes; you can fill the compartments and know that your child's lunch is complete and healthy. Providing them with a nutritious and varied lunch will ensure that not too much food is brought back home after school. You can also get your child involved in the planning and shopping of their lunch; teach them what makes a healthy lunch, and give them a choice for what to eat!The PlanetBox is also a great way avoid pre-packaged and 'convenient' lunch items. It encourages you to make a lot of their lunch contents from scratch. Make a fresh salad, mix up a pasta dish, use leftovers from last night’s dinner; all great ways to avoid using plastic packaging that's going to be thrown away.The reviews on their website really pay testament to the outstanding quality and longevity of the lunch boxes; they will save you money in the long run, as well as the knowledge that you’re doing your bit towards the environment.All photos by PlanetBox.&nbsp;
