Plastic Free Kitchen!!

Our kitchen is almost plastic-free. Our lunch containers are made of glass (Living Essentials brand, I think) and storage containers are Anchor brand. But the lids are plastic and silicone respectively, though BPA free.

I do have plastic containers that I had bought from IKEA several years before we began purging out old plastic. I figured that all the off-gassing must be done by now. When it comes time to replace them, I'll find glass/stainless steel containers.

I use a stainless steel water bottle with a plastic lid (I am yet to find one without any plastic). Don't remember any brand name.

Ours is not a transferrable job. Doesn't mean that we'll never move but if we do, and if we get a relocation package, I'll take everything with me. If we don't, I'll distribute them among my friends and buy afresh when we get where we need to get.

I don't use plastic plates. I use stainless steel for everyday use. I also have ceramic plates for other times. Read, when the dishes aren't done.

 

I am also plastic free almost in my kitchen! I store left overs in glass containers with plastic lids from Pyrex and I do have this small steel bowls (in different sizes) with plastic lids just like the pyrex ones - so I use them also for storing left overs. They also look good for serving as well!

For eating everyday, it is corning ware or steel plates, same for drinking water or milk/coffee.

I deliberately threw away all my plastic containers as well and yes, I do use steel water bottles.

So plastic is seen lesser and lesser in our house

 

This is what I use for kids' lunch boxes - it is not only not plastic but keeps the food warm as well - if you wish to fill the cap with water keeping the food warmer longer. Of course I buy character ones......

 

Srama, Foogo - I saw this brand once. Should look for their lunch containers. I think they make sippy cups as well. Not that it interests other posters on here as far as I can tell. Your kids sound older .

 

They are older certainly - school going confused and these boxes are less expensive and come in more designs and brands at the beginning of the school year! I just picked that brand from google so I assume you have a little one....enjoy!

 

Yes, Srama, I do. She just turned 2.
