We put the Airtight Containers to the test, and here is what the Earthy Peachy Panel thought:
The design aesthetic of Sanctus Mundo's Airtight Stainless Steel Food Container is super-sleek and beautiful. Good looks aside, this container's function and purpose is what is even more appealing. In answer to those of us seeking ways to have our food come into less contact with plastic, which can leach harmful chemicals, stainless steel is a very viable and practical solution. This container, which is made of all stainless steel, plus an additional silicone trim along the edge of the lid to make it airtight and leak-proof, promises to be the go-to storage vehicle when you want freshness and early transport. It'll store solid food and liquids without any spillages, the nifty closure is very secure, enough so that you have peace of mind to just throw the packed container into your bag without fear of any leakages. When ready to eat, placing the container in a toaster oven will yield a heat-up meal and it's dishwasher safe for clean-ups afterwards. This container will definitely be the most-used food storage vessel that I own.

It cleans easily and withstands the elements.

NO more storage container problems for me!! I just love using this round airtight food container for storing leftover in the refrigerator and they are stackable as well requiring less shelf space. Each lid has a silicone seal on it to make the container airtight to keep in the freshness. The seal also makes it watertight, so you will not have any spills in case it topples over. Three, well made, snap latches hold the lid securely in place and even a child or adult with some physical disabilities can open or close with ease. Not only is the container "green" but it is continually being used rather than dumped into our landfills for countless years. As a mother and grandmother, my concern is always the health of my family and how our environment can affect their well-being. That is why I firmly believe in the wonderful safe alternative products from Sanctus Mundo for food storage and reuse. Keep up the good work Sanctus Mundo....

The air tight container keeps the almonds from premature spoiling when I buy them in bulk at the local health food store.

We’ve made these stainless steel food containers a mainstay in our lunch bags on an almost daily basis. It’s amazing how many fewer lunch bags we buy and use. We feel like we’re doing our part to help the environment while sporting some pretty cool lunch accessories.
The stainless steel food container is just perfect for storing leftovers. As it is airtight it also works perfectly for sauces. The amazing thing with these boxes is that the bottoms are re-heatable on the stove or in the oven. As the lid has a silicone seal, I only placed the bottom part in the dishwasher. This certainly beats any plastic Tupperware. It is lightweight, durable and safe. As I work out and carry my gym bag everywhere, I found it very useful for transporting my yogurt, no chance of a messy accident with this.

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.
