| Lunchboxes often includes cartons, plastic bottles, sandwich bags, yoghurt
pots, crisp bags, biscuit and bar wrappers, dip containers, cling film and
sandwich bags. Multiply this with the number of lunches you prepare in a
year and you start to see how much you are contributing to landfill. Packing
a waste free lunch means that you have no waste to throw away when you have
finished.
We all know that the best way to reduce waste and litter is not to create it
in the first place. This is, however, easier said than done when
supermarkets are selling more and more pre-packed, convenience products
designed for our children’s lunchboxes. Products that are carefully packaged
into snack sizes and individually wrapped.
A waste free lunch does not only save on packaging and the environment it
saves money too. By buying bulk rather than pre packed convenience foods
there are pounds to be saved. My Friendly Lunchbox, a newly launched website selling
products for a waste free lunch, advises families to buy a block of cheese
and a big bag of raisins rather than the snack packed cartons and
individually wrapped cheese portions. You can also make your own flavoured
water for free and make dunkers and other dips for half the price.
Recently there has been a lot of health warnings about Bisphenol A (BPA), an
industrial chemical found in many plastic bottles and food containers on the
market. Those who want to avoid BPA, should therefore look out for products
that are made from stainless steel or plastic items that are marked or sold
as ’free from BPA’.
