Its key benefit is transforming recycled plastic waste into high-quality, reusable containers, offering a sustainable alternative. A potential caveat is that the colors of the containers vary due to the recycled materials, meaning no two sets are exactly alike.

They are also fridge, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher safe for ultimate convenience.

How should I reheat food in these containers?

What makes these containers 'Eco'?

They are made from 100% food-grade recycled plastic, utilizing production offcuts and surplus stock from the manufacturing process, making them an environmentally friendly choice.

Why do the colors vary?

The colors vary because the containers are made from recycled materials, and the specific shades depend on the source of the recycled plastic used during production.

Are these containers BPA-free?

The product description states they are made from '100% food-grade recycled plastic', implying they meet food safety standards. However, specific BPA-free certification is not explicitly mentioned.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to close or seal

Ensure the container rim and the lid seal are clean and free of food debris. Align the lid properly before pressing down on all four locking tabs firmly.

Container has a faint odor after storing food

Wash the container thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For persistent odors, try filling the container with a mixture of baking soda and water, letting it sit for a few hours, then washing again.

Discoloration from strong colored foods (e.g., tomato sauce)

While generally resistant, some highly pigmented foods may cause minor staining over time. Clean the container immediately after use and consider using it for non-staining foods if discoloration is a concern.

Container feels brittle after freezing

Plastic can become more brittle at freezing temperatures. Handle with care when frozen and allow the container to reach room temperature before attempting to open or use.
