Sanctus Mundo products address these growing concerns by providing a safe alternative to plastic food containers. They also help decrease the ubiquitous plastic waste found throughout ecosystems and are 100% recyclable if for some reason they become damaged beyond use.
“We love the way our customers are using these containers in creative new ways. And children adore them – they're shiny, tough, easy-to-open and close, and designed to last generations,” says Sanctus Mundo Co-Owner Jay Sinha. “The airtight containers can be filled with a soup or stew and thrown in a backpack – no mess! And no synthetic chemicals in the food!” Embrace healthy living with Sanctus Mundo.
We put the Oval Stainless Steel Lunchbox to the test, and here is what the Earthy Peachy Panel thought:
Being on an ever-growing quest to de-plastic my life (eschewing plastic bags at the stores, recycling the ones I already own, buying items with a greener package design), one area where I can cut back on the usage of plastics is in the storage of my leftovers or even the simple toting of a homemade sandwich or lunch to work. For these tasks, we usually don't think much of ripping out an occasional piece of plastic wrap or using a ziploc bag, but it will have a huge cumulative effect on the environment and possibly our health in the long run. Enter Sanctus Mundo's Oval Stainless Steel Lunch Box. The design and size is perfect for storage of a sandwich or a single-sized serving of leftovers, or toting around snacks and munchables, no plastic needed whatsoever. The design is also a throwback to an era when plastic wasn't as widespread and common as it is today, when children and working folks toted around their lunches in these handy and sturdy stainless steel containers and all was right. I'm glad Sanctus Mundo brought this design back from the past, because just as it served those times well, I think these times call for it even more.
The word people are talking about these days is “Green”. Is it an environmentally sound product? What’s the carbon foot print? How does it help the earth? The stainless steel lunch box from Sanctus Mundo is a step in the right direction. I make two sandwiches every day and I use 2 plastic bags or a piece of plastic wrap about 2 feet by 1 foot. That adds up to a lot of wasted plastic and smashed sandwiches! The stainless steel lunch box keeps my sandwiches safe and the plastic from entering land fills. I have cut down the amount of wasteful plastic bags and plastic wrap since the switch to the stainless steel box. It saves the environment and saves money. It is a win-win.
The Lunch Box container by Sanctus Mundo came in handy today. It easily held a sandwich, a banana and a small treat when I went off to work. The stainless steel oval food container has two sturdy clips to keep the lid securely in place. No more crushed food in this sturdy "Lunch Box" replacement. The compact size holds up to 26.4 fluid ounces of your favorite food or treats. The stainless steel is attractive and so easy to clean. No more plastic containers in my house. We are recycling all of those and replacing them with Sanctus Mundo containers that will last for years to come.
This beautiful food storage container is made of high quality, food grade 304 stainless steel. It can be used to store any leftovers. It can be cleaned in your dishwasher, so convenient. It works best as a convenience lunch box, or for breakfast. You can fit a sandwich or a bagel in it. I even placed my homemade salad in here once. It stayed so fresh and tasty. This is a very convenient box to have, especially when you are on the go. It also helps that it is so cool looking!
Sanctus Mundo's stainless steel lunchbox is simply amazing! Say good by to plastic and hello to going green! This modern looking food storage container is the new way of saving leftovers and making them into your lunch for the next day. This container is dishwasher safe, can be re-heated, and is very functional for every day use. The best part is that you are helping save the environment, this lunchbox helps keep the environment healthy! You can fit sandwiches, salads, fruit, stews, etc...I think the best part of Sanctus Mundo's stainless steel lunchbox is that it helps keep the environment clean of pollutants in a very simple way without much effort. I packed my husband's lunch in the lunchbox and he said it was great his sandwich didn't get smooched for once!

Mission
The mission of Sanctus Mundo is to offer the best alternatives to plastic products for everyday life, and to actively promote and educate about reduced reliance on plastic products for health, environmental and economic reasons.
History
The building blocks for Sanctus Mundo and Life Without Plastic were laid in 2005 when Chantal Plamondon and Jay Sinha decided to start ridding their lives of plastics for health and environmental reasons.They were motivated to search the world for the best alternatives to plastics because of concerns about dangerous chemicals leaching from plastic food and drink containers, and about the environmental impact of plastics on animals and ecosystems. Chantal and Jay first created the website www.
Sanctus Mundo is a combination of the word ʻSanctusʼ which means ʻsacredʼ in Latin and ʻMundoʼ, which means ʻworldʼ in Spanish. A Sacred World is how Chantal and Jay perceive their planet with all the living beings that live on it, contribute to it and depend on it in an interconnected way. Living without plastic is a movement that is growing in thousands of communities across the world. It is a lifestyle that consumers are progressively adopting to protest how plastic has become the symbol of our consumerist society: cheap and disposable.
Sanctus Mundo Products
The Sanctus Mundo product line comprises over 20 different products divided into three principal categories: childrenʼs dishes, food containers and tableware. Products bearing the Sanctus Mundo brand have been independently tested for safety, and all childrenʼs products fully comply with the United States Consumer Product Safety Information Act (CPSIA) requirements
Childrenʼs Dishes
Because children explore the world with all of their senses and their body parts, they need dishes that are not only unbreakable but also safe to suck on. Sanctus Mundoʼs exclusive line of stainless steel childrenʼs dishes meet those needs and more. Unbreakable, long lasting and food-safe, stainless steel offers the extra advantage of withstanding high temperature sanitization without degrading. For added colours and whimsy, the fun dish series features a high quality plastic exterior with a stainless steel interior. Although the plastic is there to make the dishes look fun and to limit the noise when kids start to use dishes as musical instruments, it is never in contact with the childʼs food.
Food Containers
There is something for every member of the family in the Sanctus Mundo line of food containers. Totable lunch boxes and tiffins with multiple stackable compartments – sandwich containers – round airtight food storage containers of various sizes – lunch containers that transform into a pot for use on the stove or over a campfire – bento boxes for creating art with food – re-heatable containers that make storing and reviving leftovers a snap – an airtight thermal hot meal container that keeps food warm and hearty for hours.
Tableware
Sanctus Mundo tableware is intended to be passed from generation to generation. The quality of the stainless steel and workmanship is so high that the difference from other stainless steel tableware is immediately evident. Plates, bowls, mugs, tumblers, and a water jug that is both elegant and utilitarian. These are an excellent alternative to disposable dishes, making them ideal for parties, picnics, camping, work and home. Unbreakable.

Sanctus Mundo products are guaranteed against manufacturing and defects for one year. They also carry Chantal and Jayʼs personal guarantee that they have been ethically sourced from reputable manufacturers who use high quality materials.
