Making a difference, together
There’s been a lot of thoughtful feedback about waste in school meals, and we’re glad people care as much as we do. From our waste box system to our ovens, from our suppliers to the ‘novelty factor,’ we’re actively addressing these issues on both macro and micro levels to reduce waste. Check out the information below for more on our impactful solutions.
Our Packaging
Rest assured, we supply our food items in either compostable, recyclable or reusable packaging. We also encourage our suppliers to deliver products to us in a sustainable way! We encourage children to compost and recycle responsibly through educational school talks and visits.
Saving Household Packaging
By getting your lunch from The Lunch Bag, all of the retail packaging that you use to make your lunches can be removed from your home! We’re conscious of the materials used in the production of our meals, and our suppliers deliver goods to us in reusable or larger containers, rather than individual household packaging.
Our Ovens
Our meals are heated in regeneration ovens. Not only does this prioritise quality and taste, they’re environmentally friendly too!
The Novelty Factor
As the ‘novelty’ of school meals starts to wear off, all school meal suppliers start to see the same issues.
Ways you can help!
Making sure you are changing your child’s order regularly. This helps provent boredom. (We have over 10 different options a day!)
Remember that ‘small break’ & lunch are very close together. Please ensure break time snacks are not too filling so their tummies are able for a hot meal shortly after.
