Reduce food waste with vacuum lunch boxes & save money

Why is it important to reduce food waste?

Food waste is a major global problem. According to studies, about a third of all food produced is thrown away, which equates to huge amounts of wasted resources. For households, this means a financial loss and a negative impact on the environment. By reducing food waste, you can both save money and contribute to a more sustainable world.

How big is the problem of food waste in households?

On average, Swedish households throw away up to 37 kg of food per person each year. This corresponds to between 5–10% of the household's total food expenditure. Much of this food is thrown away due to poor planning and storage, where the food becomes old or spoils before it can be consumed. This makes food waste both an economic and an environmental problem.

How can vacuum lunch boxes help reduce food waste?

Vacuum food boxes work by sucking the oxygen out of the container, which slows down the decomposition process of the food. This means that the food stays fresh much longer than in normal lunch boxes. Vacuum lunch boxes, especially those made of glass , are not only durable and reusable, but they also help you save food and reduce unnecessary food waste.

Follow these simple steps to reduce your food waste:

• Plan your meals and make purchases based on a weekly menu.
• Store leftover food in vacuum lunch boxes to extend shelf life.

• Be sure to label your food boxes with the date so you know when the food is ready.
