Research indicates that the average home-packed lunch uses four snack sized plastic bags to prepare a lunch five days a week for one child, costing approximately $60.00 per year. From kindergarten through 8th grade, consumers can save more than $700 per child. Wow!
BrightBin, the manufacturer of The New Generation Lunch Box™, launched in 2010 as the premier waste-free, eco-friendly, non-toxic lunch box that has redefined the lunch box category. Founded by Stephanie Stiller, a mother of three and former teacher, BrightBin is a money- and time-saving solution to packing a traditional lunch without the use of plastic bags, which are known to negatively impact the environment.
The non-toxic, Next Generation lunch box is 100% free of BPA. It is one unit with no lids or extra pieces. It has two levels to help keep sandwiches safe and dry while providing portion control for the whole meal. The BrightBin lunch box retails for $18.95 and comes in Blueberry Blue and Raspberry Red. My daughter will be set for when she starts all day Pre-K next year since she only does half days this year. I love being able to be green and help in every way that I can! It’s also great that it’s dishwasher safe!

But can it withstand being chucked into the lunch pail bucket by a six year-old without popping open?
It’s funny you ask that because I say YES! In my opinion, it wasn’t difficult to get open, but it took me a second because you have to lift up on the closure. It took my husband a little bit to figure out how it even worked haha.
