Why is the Goodbyn lunchbox made out of plastic? Is it safe?
Goodbyn lunchboxes are made out of plastic to keep your lunch safe, sealed, and unharmed in their journey to work or school. The hard plastic shell ensures that food returning from school or work will come back in one piece! We use virgin plastics to comply with the FDA for food contact and children's safety requirements (most post-consumer recycled plastics are not FDA approved). In the future, we hope to use 100% recycled plastic as our base material for all of our products, and are working hard at finding a single-source plastics recycler to do just that!

Your Goodbyn lunchbox is made from recyclable food-safe plastics: #5 polypropylene (lunchbox and bottle lid) and #2 high-density polyethylene (bottle). They are approved by the FDA, are the most benign of all plastics on the market, and are BPA and phthalate-free. Goodbyn products comply with CPSIA standards (US), EN71 standards (Europe), and also comply with all Australia & New Zealand standards for direct/indirect food contact and child safety.
