We use high-quality 304-grade stainless steel designed to last for years — not months.
Long-lasting products mean fewer items going to landfill.
From lunchboxes to snack boxes, we avoid disposable plastics.
Our mission is to reduce single-use waste one lunch at a time.
We partner only with factories that meet strict quality and ethical standards, ensuring safe practices, fair treatment, and reduced environmental impact.
All products are packaged in:
Recyclable kraft boxes
Plastic-free wrapping
Minimal packaging materials
We intentionally avoid unnecessary plastic or foam.
Every Meals in Steel product replaces:
Hundreds of plastic snack bags
Disposable cling wrap
Cheap lunchboxes that crack and get replaced yearly
This reduces landfill waste and saves families money.
We minimise waste and energy use in our Auckland operations and work only with manufacturers who follow responsible processes.
Our products are produced in batches to avoid overproduction, reducing carbon footprint and unnecessary material usage.
We offer long warranties on many of our products — because durability is the best form of sustainability.
Expand plastic-free packaging across all product lines
Introduce more reusable stainless-steel food storage options
Partner with NZ schools & workplaces to promote waste-free lunches
Reduce transport emissions by optimising shipment planning
We believe that small everyday choices — like packing a plastic-free lunch — add up to a big positive impact.
Thank you for choosing Meals in Steel and supporting a greener future for New Zealand.
