If not, then some iteration.  Although, I commend the engineers at 3M for coming up with a way to use 100% recycled plastic and even launching a plant-based one too.  Bizarrely they can’t seem to break free from plastic in their packaging.

Many were made from repurposed cookie tins and even tobacco tins (perpetually smoked sandwiches?).  Sadly, the wave of molded plastics hit us with cheap lunchboxes in numerous colors and styles. The metal lunchbox did hold on until the 1980s, but with super cheap plastic it was hard to compete.  Now, however we are aware of the consequences of all that plastic and are happy to support products that are fully recyclable and easy to recycle too like stainless steel.  So, let's get...
