About Kids Konserve:
Kids Konserve was founded by Lynn Julian and Chance Claxton back in 2008 after they saw how much lunch waste their children's schools were generating each day. As well as contributing to landfill and pollutants they also felt this was sending the wrong message to the children. Kids Konserve came out of their desire to set an example of conservation for their children as well to empower them to be examples of change for the future.
Kids Konserve sets itself apart from other waste-free lunch systems in a number of ways:
Non-Toxic: The complete range is made from the safest, non-leaching, non-toxic, BPA, PVC, phthalate, and lead-free materials - a mouthful, but true! Lead, BPA, PVC, and phthalates are substances that are known to be harmful to our bodies with repeated exposure.
Stainless Steel: They offer a wide range of 304 food grade stainless steel solutions as it is proven to be the safest material to house food in.
Product Line: Their products are what they call ‘eco-chic’, and are graphically appealing to kids and adults alike. The Kids Konserve range is designed to be fun, stylish, and easy for kids to use, while offering maximum convenience and flexibility for parents - all with the underlying aim of creating a Zero Waste Lunch.
Kids Konserve offer products that are responsibly made in China, India and Taiwan in facilities that are working toward green practices, and are supportive of their mission to reduce waste. Independent agencies audit the working conditions and environmental impact to ensure that the facilities adhere to fair and safe labour practices and environmental standards.
All their products meet the standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA is responsible for ensuring safety of all food packaging and food contact substances. Through the Centre for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), the FDA regulates food contact materials to ensure they are safe for intended use.
SUSTAINABLE - Kids Konserve offer high-quality, long-lasting products that promote sustainability and health, and inherently strive to reduce the millions of tons of waste associated with single-serving packaged foods and plastic bottles. They strive to use recycled materials as much as possible, and many of their products are recyclable.
RECYCLED - The Waste Free Lunch Kit comes with a recycled cotton sack. Recycled cotton is cotton fabric which has been made from cotton recovered during the spinning, weaving or cutting process that would otherwise be wasted . There are no harsh chemicals used in the processing of this fabric.
The stainless steel containers have a small percentage of recycled stainless steel in them (the percentage off recycled stainless steel in the mix cannot be above a certain level otherwise the stainless steel will not be approved as the highest quality #304 18/8 food grade standard).
The name tag is made from recycled Aluminium
