ECOlunchbox Blue Water Bento Set Review:

Price and Where to Buy: I tested out the five-piece Seal Cup set, which at the time of writing, was on sale on ECOlunchbox’s website for $56. You can also purchase the brand on Amazon.

How the ECOlunchbox Blue Water Bento Set Rates:

Usefulness: 10/10. Designed to replace your plastic Tupperware containers, the Blue Water Bentos come in a variety of different sizes that are perfect for everything from leftovers to salad dressing. Each container nests inside the others, for easy storage.
Durability: 9/10. The containers are made from 100 percent stainless steel, and the lids are made from food-safe silicone. Both can withstand the dishwasher and have a spill-proof design.
Sustainability: 10/10. Everything from ECOlunchbox is made without BPA, plastic, or phthalates–which is better for you and the environment.

Final Verdict: Looking for an eco-friendly way to travel with your food (even if it’s just from your home to your desk)? ECOlunchbox’s Blue Water Bento Set is sustainable, spill-proof, and easy-to-clean.
