The story behind U-Konserve
REUSE - LESS WASTE




U-KONSERVE
U-Konserve was founded in 2008 by two friends who believed that small changes can have a huge impact on the global movement to protect our planet. Concerned about the amount of single-use packaging, they created reusable lunch kits for schools, long before zero-waste hit the headlines.
As the concept gained awareness, more products were developed to create a wide range of reusable food-storage solutions for a zero-waste lifestyle. From storing food at home to out-and-about - at picnics, the office, the beach, the car and everything in between!
After more than a decade of growth and transition, the same goals that helped launch U-Konserve's message of reuse still guide the company today.
The Brand is extremely proud to have achieved B Corp status, an official certification earned by businesses that use the power of the marketplace to help solve social and environmental problems. It's also a member of 1% for the Planet, giving 1% of its annual sales to environmental causes. The initial mission to protect the planet has grown into a lifestyle of reusing more, wasting less, and raising awareness about the exciting and growing movement to reduce single-use plastic.
U-Konserve offers a range of reusable stainless steel food containers designed for packing a healthier, waste-free lunch for school, work and on-the-go.
We started selling U-Konserve products back in 2011 and their products come to work with me every day for lunch even all these years later! (In fact some of them are probably containers I've had since we started selling them!). They just work - and isn't that what you want from something that you use all the time?

A B- CORP with an obsession for reducing single use waste is how I would describe U-Konserve! Their dedication to ethical sourcing, sustainable materials, responsible consumption and community engagement is impressive. On a personal note, I have been using my U-Konserve lunch box and containers for years - 9 I think! I have found them to be be extremely useful and obviously very durable. I recently upgraded the lids on a couple as the new silicone lids are much more flexible and it's handy to be able to see through them. It is a bit like having a new container, without the cost and without the waste. This is product sustainability at its finest - no inbuilt obsolescence with U-Konserve!

I’ve been looking for a UK company and UK made product to replace my laundry liquids and Green Tulip are perfect. Cruelty free and vegan with the added bonus of non toxic and environmentally friendly, what is not to love about that. I’m on my first lot of sheets and they wash well with a subtle scent of clean. Will definitely be reordering.
I am extremely pleased with my ocean flask ! It has been very satisfying to buy a flask with a smaller volume as some are too big. Love the colour and the style of it plus helping save plastic .Thanks
These were very charming notelet cards, easy shopping & I was delighted with them on arrival
I recently bought Up Circle Cream and Cleansing Milk and it covers my skin like a dream - soft and nourishing. Even my 16 daughter has started using it!
Always find a perfect gift at Tulip, beautifully soft tactile gift for tiny hands. Excellent quality, service and delivery. Have used multiple times.
