A Waste-Free Lunch has:

• A reusable lunch box.
• Reusable food containers (cloth, plastic, metal)
• Reusable drink containers (plastic, metal)
• A cloth napkin
• Reusable utensils (metal, hard plastic, bamboo)

More ideas:

• Purchase your snacks in bulk size and repack into individual reusable containers.  (There is less packaging per item that way).
• Pack fresh fruit since it doesn't require any additional packaging.
• Have your child bring home what they don’t eat; don’t over pack lunches.
• Compost cores, peels and crusts.
