Its key benefit is providing a sustainable food storage solution made from 100% salvaged waste plastic, without compromising on LocknLock's signature airtight and leak-proof performance. A potential caveat is that the unique composition means the exact color of each container may vary from the product image, adding a distinctive touch to your kitchenware.

FAQs

What does '100% food-grade salvaged waste plastic' mean?

It means the container is made entirely from post-consumer or post-industrial plastic waste that has been cleaned, processed, and certified as safe for contact with food. This diverts waste from landfills and reduces the need for virgin plastic.

Why does the color of my container not match the picture?

Each LocknLock Eco container is unique because it's made from a blend of different salvaged plastics. The exact color composition varies, resulting in distinct, unrepeatable colors for each item. The image is a representation, but your container will have its own unique hue.

Is it safe to microwave food in this container?

Yes, the container is microwave-safe for reheating. However, it's crucial to vent the lid or remove it completely before microwaving to allow steam to escape and prevent pressure build-up.

How long will the locking mechanism last?

LocknLock products are known for their durability. The patented 4-sided locking system is designed for repeated use. The product also comes with a lifetime warranty which covers manufacturing defects.

Can I use this container to store liquids like soup?

Yes, the 4-sided locking system creates an airtight and leak-proof seal, making it suitable for storing liquids like soup or sauces without fear of spills.

What are the external dimensions of the 1L container?

The external measurements are approximately 7cm (Height) x 13cm (Width) x 13.4cm (Depth).

Is the gasket in the lid replaceable?

The gasket is integrated into the lid design for a secure seal. While not designed for user replacement, the container is covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to close or seal.

Ensure there are no food particles or debris around the rim of the container or the gasket of the lid. Check that the four locking tabs are aligned correctly before pressing down.

Container retains odors after use.

Wash immediately after use. For persistent odors, try soaking the container in a mixture of water and white vinegar or a baking soda paste for several hours before washing.

Container appears warped after microwaving.

Ensure the lid was properly vented or removed before microwaving. Avoid excessive microwave times. If warping occurs, it may be due to prolonged or high-heat exposure; consider reduced heating times or lower power settings.

Color seems inconsistent or different from expected.

This is normal due to the use of salvaged waste plastic. Each container has a unique color composition, so variations are expected and part of the product's sustainable charm.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. The container is ready to use out of the package. Ensure the lid's 4-sided locking tabs are clean before first use.

Compatibility:

  • Freezer: Fully compatible. Store food items for extended periods.
  • Refrigerator: Compatible for general storage.
  • Microwave: Compatible for reheating food. It is recommended to *vent the lid* or remove it entirely before microwaving to prevent pressure buildup.
  • Dishwasher: Fully compatible. Place on the top rack for best results.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, or place in the dishwasher (top rack recommended). Avoid abrasive scouring pads that could scratch the plastic.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left for a short period before rinsing.
  • Color Variation: Embrace the unique color of each container, as this is an inherent characteristic of the recycled materials used. The color may subtly change over time with use, especially with microwaving.
