WISE Score
The indestructible, plastic-free lunch tank that makes a basic lunch look like a five-star tasting menu.
PlanetBox is the gold standard for a reason. While the initial investment feels like buying a piece of heavy machinery for a PB&J, the durability is unmatched.
It’s a 'buy it once' product in a 'throw it away' world. For parents trying to reduce their household's plastic footprint and encourage kids to actually eat their veggies by making them look organized and appealing, this is a top-tier choice. Just be prepared for the weight—it's solid steel, not flimsy tin.
Perfect for anyone from a 3-year-old starting preschool (Shuttle model) to an adult who wants a sophisticated lunch (Launch or Explorer models). It's a rare product that scales with the user.
Promotes healthy, varied eating and environmental stewardship through a zero-waste design. It's a physical product that encourages real-world preparation and nutrition without any digital noise.
The bento-style compartments turn lunch into a puzzle or a canvas. It invites parents and kids to think beyond the standard sandwich baggie, though it's ultimately a utilitarian tool.
High-grade stainless steel is the gold standard for food safety. No plastics, no BPAs, and built to withstand being dropped (repeatedly). The only minor concern is the weight for very small children.
Teaches kids about portion control and variety. Using a reusable system is a daily, practical lesson in sustainability that sticks better than a textbook.
