If you think preparing your lunchbox the night before a day in the office or at school feels like a chore, trust us – you’re not alone. We already know that meal prepping can help save money, prevent single-use plastic waste, and mitigate climate change created from food waste that goes on to produce toxic methane gas in our atmosphere. So, even with all those good reasons, why does it still feel so laborious to pack a lunch?
The reality is that there are a few pain points that come to mind when prepping food, all of which are about to be solved with memobento. The new bento box-style lunchbox is designed by the makers of the popular memobottle, the slim water bottle that fits flat in any bag. With so many lunchboxes and meal prep containers already on the market, here are the reasons why memobento stands out (and why over 2,000 people have already backed the project).
Unlike most systems that consist of just a container and a lid, memobento consists of three parts: a TritanTM plastic inner lid, a silicone inner container, and an outer shell (which is made of an outer container and an outer lid). The stackable silicone containers allow you to prepare multiple meals in advance and because they are BPA- and plastic-free, you can bake, heat, or even freeze your portions.
When it comes time to transport your food, simply place it into the memobento (stainless steel) or memobento Lite (polypropylene) containers. The triple-wall design provides insulation and prevents condensation. With multiple compartment divider configurations in the silicone containers, you can separate parts of your meal without worrying about leakage.
Once it’s time to clean, you can take out the inner lid and silicone container to wash or pop them in the dishwasher. The clean outer shell can be stored away, ready to use the next day when you pop a new meal in. Whether you’re packing lunch for work, school, or family outings, memobento makes the process seamless and sustainable, catering to the needs of modern, eco-conscious consumers everywhere.
