Reusable Lunch Containers – The Criteria

In the world of lunch-packing, we all have different needs. My favorite lunch container may not work for you – and vice versa. Your older son may want something completely different than your daughter. The good news is, there are many different lunch container styles to choose from!

Here are the criteria that I considered for this eco-friendly lunch container roundup. Some of these criteria may be more important to you than others. I’ve appreciated all of them over my many years of lunch packing for one reason or another!

• lightweight
• plastic-free
• leakproof
• divided areas
• microwavable
• dishwasher safe
• freezer safe
• flexible (changeable or removable parts)
• minimal parts
• indestructible
