RUSSBE™ Adds a New
Line of
Bento Boxes to Its Reusable Product
Lineup and Announces Improvements to Their
Popular Snack & Sandwich Bags
Reducing waste
has
never been easier – and what’s more, the
new RUSSBE Bento Boxes
and
Reusable bags make a stylish statement as well
Ontario, Calif.
– February 2017 – Lunch packing can be a
wasteful proposition with all the plastic bags, wraps and containers that
end up in the
trash. RUSSBE™ helps reduce this
unnecessary
refuse with a line of lunch packing systems
that
are 100 percent reusable. The latest addition to the RUSSBE collection are
the
new lines of Bento Lunch
Boxes; The Perfect
Seal, Stack + Chill Pak and Mini
Snack
Bentos. The company’s
popular snack & sandwich
bags have also significantly improved
with a sturdier
built zipper lock and a new grip and pull tab that makes the
bags easier than ever to
open.
A survey conducted by the statistics portal Statistica found that over a one-week period in 2016, 10.15
million Americans
used 21 or more
plastic sandwich bags.
An additional 88.93 million consumers
used
six or more weekly. On an
annual basis, these figures add up to a lot of needless waste, thereby
prompting schools across the nation to push “waste-free lunches, where everything must be either
compostable or reusable,” the “New York Times” reported in 2011.
In response to that prodding, “unit
sales of plastic sandwich bags
sold declined
by 3.17 percent, while paper bags
fell by 13.19 percent” between 2010 and 2011. Still,
as
the Statistica findings illuminate, much progress remains to be made.
RUSSBE’s
lunch systems offer a simple and inexpensive way to rev up that progress. They provide
an alternative way to pack lunches while reducing disposable bag and container waste.
The company’s lineup of washable and reusable snack and sandwich bags can be used
hundreds of times, keeping thousands of disposable plastic bags out of our landfills
and oceans every year. The new line of Bento Boxes come in a variety of colors
and styles, each with a convenient function and configuration that equip consumers
with a stylish and environmentally friendly mean of packing lunches.
RUSSBE’s
Perfect Seal Bento Boxes are built with a slide & lock lid mechanism that keeps
a tight, leak-proof seal when closed. The Stack + Chill Pak Bentos are double-stacked
containers with multi-compartments that keep foods separated. They are microwavable
and include utensils and an ice pack that keep food fresh, safe, and ready to eat
right out of the box. The Mini Snack Bento has 2-compartments and a total 18-ounce
capacity, it fits in purses, diaper bags or gym bags and holds the perfect amount
of 2 snack options in one place. These new Bento lines range from $6.99 to $14.99
retail and come in various colors and sizes.
The RUSSBE snack and sandwich
bags got a major overhaul
this year. The re-
designed zipper lock, the improved sturdier and
design doubles the life of each
Russbe while the new Grip & Pull tabs make bag
opening easier than ever; even children will have an
easy time opening them at lunch
time. The bags are
available in the traditional Fruits colorway
which includes orange, lemon, pear
and
with new
colors arriving mid-late
2017.
RUSSBE Bento Boxes are
available
at all 86 locations of The Container Store.
Fred Meyer currently sells the four-pack RUSSBE snack and sandwich
bags in 135 of
its
stores and ships them to all states within its division. All products are also available
at
