Laptop Lunches Bento Box Set 2.0 w/Book, Black/Red

Description

Bento 2.0 is here! We're excited about the newest Laptop Lunches set, the Bento Box 2.0. Styled after Japanese bento boxes—which elevate the packed lunch to an art form—it consists of a snap-shut case and five internal containers that attractively store different foods.

An improvement over the original Laptop Lunches Bento Box, the 2.0 set is deeper than the original set to accommodate 1 1/2 cups more food. It has lids for three of the inner containers (the original set only had two with lids), and all-stainless utensils.

What might otherwise be an ordinary lunch becomes a beautifully presented (and irresistible) meal. This creative lunch system is a stylish, sustainable alternative to prepackaged, single-serving foods and disposable bags. It's perfect for school lunches, road trips, picnics, or any lunch on the go.

This modular system from Laptop Lunches features a black snap-shut Bento Box System with stainless steel fork and spoon and five bright blue inner food containers (3 with lids and 2 with higher sides that sit flush against the top of the case). It also includes the indispensable 96-page Laptop Lunch User's Guide. You may also purchase the Bento Buddies 2.0 accessory set, which offers four additional containers for multiple configurations in the bento case.

Manufactured in California, the Laptop Lunches Bento Box Systems are reusable, recyclable, and dishwasher safe. They are made of polypropylene and polyethylene and contain absolutely no BPA, phthalates, or lead.

The Bento Box 2.0 System includes the following inner containers:

• 1 1/4-cup rectangular container with lid for wet items, such as cottage cheese or cut fruit
• 1 2/3-cup rectangular container for dry items, such as sandwich halves or salad greens
• 2/3-cup square container with lid for side dishes or desserts, such as a yogurt parfait
• 3/4-cup square container for dry snacks or dessert
• 1/8-cup rectangular container with lid for dip or dressing

Sustainability

Sustainability
The Laptop Lunches Bento Box System is a reusable and recyclable kit made of food-safe plastic that is designed to give you years of service. This kit is a stylish, affordable, and durable alternative for families wishing to move from a disposable to a reusable system.

Most school-aged children who bring lunches carry them in disposable brown bags and plastic baggies. Each of these children will generate 67 pounds of waste by the end of the school year. That's 18,760 pounds of lunch waste for an average-sized school! With a reusable lunch kit like the Laptop Lunches Bento Box System, you'll be doing your part to prevent unnecessary waste and pollution.

Between 1960 and 2007 the amount of waste each person creates has almost doubled from 2.7 to 4.6 pounds per day. The most effective way to stop this trend is by preventing waste in the first place.
