WHY REUSABLE MATTERS FOR PICNICS & DAY-OUT ROUTINES

Picnics and day trips often involve single-use packaging and disposable drinkware. Choosing reusable bottles, cups, and containers helps reduce waste and supports more responsible everyday habits.

WHAT MAKES OUR MATERIAL MIX PRACTICAL FOR OUTDOOR USE?

Bamboo Fibre (Eco-Composite)

Bamboo is widely recognised as a renewable resource with rapid regrowth. In our Outdoor assortment, bamboo fibre pieces are selected for lightweight everyday handling and a modern, minimal look. For background on bamboo as a renewable material, see: FAO (PDF): Bamboo.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a staple for reusable lunch solutions and cutlery because it’s durable and built for repeat use. In this collection you’ll see stainless steel lunch boxes (including options with heat-safe inserts) and compact cutlery sets made for on-the-go routines.

Silicone

Silicone elements support portability and everyday convenience — for example, carry cases for cutlery, soft-touch details, and travel-friendly accessories.

Tritan

Tritan is commonly used in reusable drinkware for its clarity and durability. Where included in our Outdoor range, it supports lightweight carry for day trips and everyday hydration.

ARE THESE OUTDOOR ESSENTIALS FOOD-SAFE?

Many shoppers specifically look for BPA-free and food-contact safe options for daily routines. If you want a clear, consumer-focused overview of BPA and food-contact applications, the U.S. FDA maintains an accessible reference page: FDA: BPA Use in Food Contact Applications.

For broader context on chemical regulation frameworks (commonly referenced in global product safety discussions), see: ECHA: Understanding REACH.

CARE NOTES FOR OUTDOOR DAYS

• Dishwasher use: Many items in this collection are dishwasher-friendly — always follow the care notes on each product page.
• Microwave caution: Stainless steel is not microwave-safe, and bamboo fibre composites are typically not recommended for microwave/oven use.
• On-the-go tip: For road trips and beach days, pair a bento or Store & Go container with a reusable bottle and a compact cutlery trio for a simple “grab-and-go” kit.

DESIGNED TO LAST — WITH SMALL REPLACEMENTS WHEN YOU NEED THEM

Outdoor life is active. That’s why we also offer small replacement parts (like straps or lids) to help extend the life of the products you already love — a practical way to support long-term reuse.
