Send yourself or your kids off for the day with a zero-waste lunch. This means eliminating any items that cannot be recycled or reused, such as cling wrap and plastic utensils. Instead, opt for reusable lunch containers, utensils, and a reusable water bottle.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A reusable lunch box made of stainless steel, plastic or durable fabric.
• Set of reusable utensils either from home or made from bamboo.
• One reusable cloth napkin.
• Several reusable containers or bags for snacks and sandwiches such as silicone pouches, mason jars, plastic containers with lids, or metal containers.
• A water bottle made of metal, glass, or plastic.
