Teach Children Sustainable Living with O-Yaki Ecoware #leadbyexample #earthfriendly


With the new school year upon us, it's the perfect opportunity to teach your children the importance of sustainable, eco-friendly living. One easy way to incorporate reusable, earth-friendly habits into daily life is through the containers kids use to pack lunches each day. One of our go-to brands is O-Yaki Ecoware for their biodegradable eco-plastic items made of natural wheat or rice husk composite material. Showing our children the benefits of bio-composite products as a means of taking care of our planet feels like the best way to start off the school year and promote lifelong habits. Check out two of our top picks below!


O-Yaki Ecoware Bento-Box with utensils
Our primary school kids pack a lunchbox each day. Bento-boxes have been hugely popular for several years now and our kids love the variety that multiple compartments offer. We have fun packing the bento-box together and our children feel a sense of ownership and responsibility in being a part of lunch planning process. As a parent, I love that the utensils are included and have their own separate compartment for storage. It's one less thing I have to remember to pack!  Our kids love talking about how eco-friendly their bento-boxes are and we are happy to see them thinking more about waste-free lifestyles at such an early age.

O-Yaki Ecoware Water Bottle
Most every classroom requires students to bring their own water bottle and this one is a great choice because of its compact size and leak resistant design. It fits easily into most lunch boxes and we love being able to toss it into a bag when we're on the go. The bottle is made of 85% wheat fiber and is biodegradable, just like the bento box.  It can keep beverages warm for up to 2 hours, making it a favorite for tea and coffee, too! The lid is an easy twist-off style, which the kids find easy to open and close.
