The box itself, and the two stainless steel containers for wet foods, are wonderful and holding up just fine. The zippered bag that holds the box is not as great. It's showing some wear (though I bet we can make it last another year, if not two) and it has grooves that are almost impossible to clean of the crumbs and peanut butter that get in there almost every day because he likes to eat with the open box still inside the unzipped bag.<br /><br />We haven't tried any of those reusable sandwich wraps. When not using the Planet Box, we put sandwiches in liner bags saved from small boxes of cereal or crackers (reuse until dirty, then throw away) or reusable food-storage containers. But most containers I've seen that are sandwich-sized are plastic.<br /><br />For my own lunch at work, I bring leftovers in Corningware or Pyrex containers or old salsa jars. I have a neoprene bag that is BuiltNY brand; I naively assumed that meant it was made in New York, but it's actually made in China, but it's a good bag and has held up well for 3 years!'Beccahttp://articles.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-81578573873329034062011-05-03T22:14:49.808-07:002011-05-03T22:14:49.808-07:00Great post.

I'm not sure how eco they are but they seem good? I think all you can do is try to make little changes bit by bit.Rachel Wagner.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11229982576468380281noreply@blogger.com
