Not only will they go to lunch with new gear, they’ll also enjoy a plastic free lunch that’s great for the environment.
And hey — let’s not forget about you! You need to eat as well, and you want packing lunch to be sustainable and simple. There are high quality eco-friendly lunch boxes for the office as well.

Let’s look at the top eco-friendly lunch box, lunch bag and bento box options for work and back to school — as well as how they’re made.
Minimal Bento Box
Plastic lunch boxes are a thing of the past. Over 91% of our plastic ends up in landfills — a number that isn’t sustainable for our planet or our health. Recycled plastic is an improvement, but the true eco friendly lunch solution is an entirely plastic free meal.
The Minimal bento box collection features sustainable lunch box selections in 3 food grade materials. Whether you require recycled, durable, or flexible storage options, you can shop all of them right here.
Award-Winning Natural Fiber Bento Box
The Minimal natural fiber bento box won the NY Now 2018 Eco Choice Award for Most Innovative Design. It’s a lunch box made of 100% recycled materials — natural recycled rice husk that provides surprising strength and quality storage.
Recycled rice husk is a chip and crack-resistant natural material. Minimal is able to salvage these rice husks from crop burning by farmers, which reduces our overall carbon footprint on a large scale.
If you love the idea of using rice husk bento lunchboxes to reduce carbon emissions, there’s more options for you! Minimal also offers rice husk utensil sets with fork, spoon and an eco friendly sauce container.
Stainless Steel Bento Box
If you love the durability of a stainless steel lunch box, this bento box is perfect. You eliminate the waste of a disposable lunch container and gain the strength of stainless steel.
The Minimal stainless steel lunchbox keeps all your food safe and fresh. It’s available in two different sizes (1260 ml and 1560 ml), so pack anything from a simple sandwich and snacks to a full school lunch with confidence.
Food Grade Silicone Bento Lunch Box
Silicone is a compound made up of silicon and oxygen, creating a fully natural material. In order to be approved by the FDA and other world-leading food quality agencies, food grade silicone must meet rigorous testing to ensure safety for food-based use.
Silicone boasts natural resistance to extreme heat and cold, as well as an anti-fungal and non-toxic nature. The silicone seal is durable and flexible, and won’t warp in the freezer or dishwasher.
The Minimal silicone bento lunch box has two compartments for easy packing. Store your cookies, fresh fruit and ice pack in one container without any fear of cross-contamination.
Minimal Eco Friendly Lunch Bag
If you prefer a lunch bag to a lunchbox, there’s a great eco friendly choice available. The Minimal eco friendly lunch bag is made from premium eco-felt for optimum flexibility and sustainability.
The most appealing trait of the Minimal lunch bag is its storage capacity. The wide opening allows for maximum packing — anything from a water bottle to a full work lunch fits easily. The large zipper keeps your food items stable and separated as desired.
Cleaning this eco friendly lunch bag is simple. Its eco-felt material is machine washable.
This lightweight, stylish lunch bag eliminates harmful disposable plastic bags from your lunch routine. You get all the function and none of the waste.
The Perfect Size for a Lunch Bag or Snack Container
The Minimal lunch bag comes in two sizes. The small (217x125x240mm) option is perfect for snacks and small meals for kids. The larger (270x125x325mm) bag is designed for the adult on the move, with room for different foods and a more comprehensive lunch.
Choose from six delicious color options — gray, light gray, blue, rose, lavender and limpet.
Minimal Stainless Steel Food Jar
Need an even bigger lunch storage container? The Minimal insulated food jar is the ideal blend of innovation and function. It features a double wall made of food grade stainless steel and insulated with copper thermal technology.
Each Minimal food jar is guaranteed to be 100% BPA-free, and eliminates the harmful toxins in plastic that can leach into your food. Its 3″ wide mouth opening allows easy storage of foods and fluids — soups, stews, and ice cream are a breeze.
Beyond the eco friendly and design attributes of the stainless steel food jar, it also provides added functional benefits.
The Benefits of an Insulated Lunch Container
Each Minimal food jar provides triple insulation technology. All food jars are equipped with food grade stainless steel double walls. Vacuum insulation ensures your seal stays tight and secure, with no leaks or splashes. Copper thermal technology helps your food retain its desired temperature. Stews and soups stay piping hot, and iced items stay perfectly cold.
If your “lunch hour” happens outdoors, this insulated food jar is designed for you. Take a large meal on your hike or camping trip. Bring a full day’s food out in the field. If you work on a construction site, this stainless steel container is tough enough to survive a day on the job.
Eco-Friendly Lunch Supplies for Adults & Kids
We all want to cut plastic out of our lunch routine. But it can be hard to find plastic free lunchbox and storage options that are right for both adults and kids.
Minimal designs its food storage with different lifestyles in mind. Each one has the function to handle the rigors of a school lunch, as well as the aesthetic beauty to stand out at the office.
Let’s all ditch plastic waste from lunchtime and switch to sustainable, stylish products. Use Minimal products — packing lunch has never felt so healthy!
