Best Boxes For A Packed Lunch
If you are particularly looking for lunches on the go, the chances are you may need a lunch box. it’s better for the environment and yourself to have a few reusable lunch containers.
My preference for lunch containers are plastic free ones. They are far better for the environment, in some cases they are more durable and it prevents you from eating the chemicals the leak into your food when using plastic.
I do occasionally use plastic containers, when I can’t find a comparable alternative. There are tons of great options on the market now for lunch containers of every kind.
Here are some of my favorite.
