Why does reusable plastic meet our commitments?
Quite simply because its light weight makes you want to take your bento boxes and bottles everywhere with you! What’s more :
- Even though we have made sure that our products are recyclable, they are so resistant that they require little recycling!
- Our bento boxes (except the MB Element, MB Capsule and MB Gram) are microwave and dishwasher safe!
- Our products are guaranteed BPA-free (in accordance with the regulations). They also comply with international food standards.
- The transport and manufacture of reusable plastic products are less energy-intensive and generate less CO2 emissions than glass products (which are a lot heavier).
