Making the switch to an eco-friendly lunch bag is a simple, easy way to make lunchtime healthier for your child and the planet! Many plastic containers and bottles contain toxic PFAS (so-called "forever chemicals") that build up in the human body and have been linked to numerous health issues.
Luckily, plenty of companies recognize the need for food-safe products. So while you check out our list, why not let your child be a part of finding an eco-friendly lunch bag they love and start a conversation about how important it is to care for our planet at the same time?
