About us
In 2008, Go Green Lunch Box was founded simply out of “frustration.” Packing two lunches everyday, I was appalled at the amount of waste generated by the packaging of single-serve items (sandwiches, juices, snacks, desserts, etc.). All of that – plastic baggies/wrap/cups, paper cartons/bags, cellophane bags – eventually wound up in our landfills. Upon reading a statistic about a typical American child generating 67 pounds of lunch packaging waste each school year, I knew I had to make some changes. After buying food containers and trying, unsuccessfully, to fit all the containers into the lunch boxes we already owned, resulting in either the lids or containers (or both!) not being brought back home from school, I decided to solve the problem . . . hence, Go Green Lunch Box!
Many of the local elementary schools work hard to teach the children of our community the importance of protecting the environment. Since their kindergarten days, my children were repeatedly taught the phrase,“reduce, reuse, recycle.” With our children taking the lead, my family made changes in our daily lives to do our part to protect and to conserve our environment – locally and globally.
“Each student's lunch produces 67 pounds of packaging waste per year, this is nearly 40,000 pounds of trash per school.”
I partnered with a family friend and international businessman, Hinman Dunn, who has manufacturing and sourcing experience. Like many new products, customer feedback over the years has provided us excellent opportunities to improve our products so as to better meet the needs of parents and children. Consequently, our latest product line features not only design changes, but also, improvements in functionality and durability.
To ensure quality of our products, we work closely with our contracted factories. All Go Green Lunch Box products have passed tests in accordance with the relevant Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) standards and California Proposition 65 (the nation’s most stringent law regulating environmental health and safety).
Enjoy your purchase!
