Laptop Lunches Bento Buddies 2.0, Pink

Description

This clever set of food containers should be called "Lunch Buddies" because they're so versatile. Use them as an extra set of containers for your Laptop Lunches Bento Box 2.0 set, or plop them in any lunch box.

These reusable and completely food-safe containers replace prepackaged, single-serving foods and disposable bags. They're ideal for school lunches, road trips, picnics, or any lunch on the go.

Manufactured in California, the Laptop Lunches Bento Buddies 2.0 are reusable, recyclable, and dishwasher safe. They are made of polypropylene and polyethylene and contain absolutely no BPA, phthalates, or lead.

Note: The Bento Buddies 2.0 are not compatible with the original Laptop Lunches Bento Box System, which is shallower.

The Bento Buddies 2.0 set includes the following four containers:

• 4-cup extra large container with lid for sandwiches, salads, and leftovers
• 1 1/4-cup large container with lid for fruits, vegetables, and other sides, such as cottage cheese
• 2/3-cup medium container with lid for yogurt, applesauce, or snacks
• 1/8-cup small container with lid for dip or dressing

Features

Design

• Four lidded food containers can be used on their own or inside the Bento Box 2.0, affording multiple configurations when used with the case's other inner containers.
• Available in multiple color options
• The containers (not the lids) are FDA approved for microwave use; however, Lunchville.com does not recommend using any plastic containers in the microwave
• These containers are 1/4 inch deeper than those in the original Bento Box system and so will not fit in the original hard case.

Sustainability

Sustainability
The Laptop Lunches Bento Buddies 2.0 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.
