Did you know food packaging alone accounts for nearly 32% of all household waste in the U.S.? According to the U.S. Department of Education, about 20 million students bring their lunch to school each day. Multiply 20 million packed lunches a day, by five days and you get 100 million a week! If each lunch has 3 plastic baggies, that’s 300 million plastic baggies potentially in the garbage. The effect of all this plastic in our landfills and waterways is devastating.
It is one of my goals for my kids to have waste-free lunches. Every once in a while something "easy" lands in their lunch boxes (like a frozen tube of yogurt), but mostly, we are waste-free. Our lunch boxes and bags really help with this initiative, and Norwex has just made it even easier!
Problem: Disposable “one time use” plastic wraps and bags may contain harmful chemicals like BPA, DEHA and other plasticizers, and they increase the amount of trash that ends up in our landfills and oceans every year.
Solution: The Norwex Out to Lunch Sandwich Wrap and Out to Lunch Snack Bag are both reusable, which can mean less trash in our landfills. Also, because they are made from recycled LDPE #4 plastic, and certified free from BPA, DEHA, phthalates, PVC and lead, it helps radically reduce chemicals not only in your body and in your kids’ bodies, but in the environment as well.
Both the Out to Lunch Sandwich Wrap and Out to Lunch Snack Bag are tested by CPSIA-accredited testing laboratory to meet FDA requirements and CPSIA standards. The manufacturer also uses an independent lab to test products to ensure consistent and non-toxic quality.
Key Benefits:
- Reusable—reduce waste by eliminating disposable food packaging from our landfills and oceans.
- Save money by reducing single-use packaging and packaged foods.
- Eat healthier by packing homemade, non-packaged foods—and by keeping your food on a mat, and off a potentially germ-laden table.
- Store food more safely by packing it in non-leaching, non-toxic containers.
- Promote sustainability by giving gifts that send the message of reuse.
- Highly recyclable
