Eco Kickstarter Campaign Launched by ECOlunchbox

Blue Water Bento collection items on Kickstarter now

ECOlunchbox has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $30,000 in order to bring to market the Blue Water Bento collection, an innovative new line of lunch containers that combine no-leak silicone lids with non-toxic stainless steel bottoms.

Sandra Ann Harris, founder and president of ECOlunchbox, first sought funding for this first-to-market project from angel investors, but when they turned her down she decided to turn to crowdfunding instead.

“We’ve been hearing from our customers they really want a lunch container that doesn’t leak – and doesn’t have any plastic. They want to have their cake and eat it to,” Harris explained. “It’s costly to fund the design, molds and other start-up costs for a new product line. There are high minimums, too. I really wanted to meet the needs of families who need these products that are healthy for people and the planet, so I’ve decided to take our funding needs to the streets via Kickstarter.”

So far the Kickstarter campaign has received an enthusiastic response, with ECOlunchbox raising about 25 percent of its needed funding in just 48 hours.

Last year ECOlunchbox introduced the Splash Box as the first component of the Blue Water Bento collection of stainless steel and silicone lunchware that’s ocean-friendly, leak-proof, and 100 percent plastic-free. Now the collection expands with three new products that are on Kickstarter: the Seal Cup Solo, the Seal Cup Trio and the Splash Pod.

The Splash Pod™ is a leak-proof snack pod that fits inside the original Splash Box perfectly. The Seal Cup™ Solo has a 1-cup capacity with a leak-proof, silicone lid perfect for packing yogurt, applesauce, salad dressing or fruit. The Seal Cup™ Trio is a set of three nifty, nesting, round containers in small medium and large.

As a socially responsible company, ECOlunchbox’s mission is to help people reduce their use of plastic food containers by providing non-toxic, stainless steel lunchboxes that are healthy for people and the planet.
