Essentials For Packing a Zero-Waste Lunch For Your Kids
Recently, when bringing in plastic-wrapped snacks to school, our kids have been asked to keep the wrappers in their bags to take home with them. The intention of this new rule might be to keep the school clean, but we think it’s a great way to encourage households to think about how much single-use plastic is used when packing or buying snacks and meals, in turn making the planet a place with less waste. If your kids’ school has recently put this rule in place, or if you yourself are looking for ways to reduce waste in your family’s day-to-day life, here’s everything you’ll need to pack a zero-waste lunch.
Reusable Silicone Bags
Conventional, one-use zip bags have been around for YEARS, and they’re widely loved for a reason—convenience. Although they make it easy to store food, the average family throws out HUNDREDS of them a year. These make it into our landfill and are going to be there for hundreds of years and years to come. However, as we become more conscious of our environmental impact, there's a growing need to shift towards sustainable alternatives. Reusable silicone bags offer an excellent solution to address the environmental concerns associated with single-use plastic bags. By making the switch to these Basic Goods ones, you not only contribute to reducing plastic waste but also enjoy a myriad of benefits. Silicone bags are durable, long-lasting, and easy to clean, making them a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice. Moreover, their airtight seal helps preserve the freshness of food, reducing the likelihood of food wastage. Unlike traditional plastic bags, which may contain harmful chemicals, silicone bags are generally considered a safer option for storing food.
Stainless Steel Containers
Reusable Spork
When reading the reviews on this reusable, foldable, spork, you’ll find one common word that is used to describe it: handy. This small tool is great for anyone who wants something easy to use every day. It's not just small; it's also smart because it can do two things at once, making it good for packing lunches without using throwaway plastics. The spork is so compact it fits easily in any lunch bag, making it a must-have for quick meals on the go. Whether you're having soup, salad, or anything else, this spork is flexible and makes eating better without making a mess. Adding this spork to your kid's zero-waste lunch kit isn't just a choice; it's a practical and eco-friendly way to make their meals easier and better for the environment.
Insulated Water Bottle
An insulated water bottle is a must in a kids' zero-waste lunch kit. It keeps drinks cool or warm for longer, making it a handy and eco-friendly choice. This bottle encourages kids to drink healthier beverages without using disposable options. It's easy for kids to handle, fits well in their lunch bags, and is durable for everyday use. The fun designs and colours are an added bonus.

It comes equipped with various pockets and compartments, adding an extra layer of convenience for organizing snacks and essentials.
