  • Healthy foodware - the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that we store and serve children's food on stainless steel (NOT plastic). Plastic transfers harmfuls chemicals into children's food - impacting their hormones, growth and brain development. Stainless steel is the healthy choice for students.
  • Two Minnetonka, MN middle schools transitioned from disposables to durable, metal utensils and saved approximately $6,000 in the first year. Over three years of use, the schools estimated a cost savings of $26,000 dropping the annual per student cost for foodware from $6.95 for disposables to $2.56 for reusables.
  • Palo Alto United School District eliminated 436,540 pieces of single-use foodware and over 8,000 pounds of waste, earning an annual net savings of $25,000.
  • Infants and children are among the most vulnerable populations to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in foodware because they have consistent exposure to these plastic chemicals during key stages of growth & development. Stainless steel is an inert material which means chemicals will not migrate into the stainless steel and nothing from the stainless steel will migrate into your food/drink upon contact. We test our products through an independent third party testing lab.
  • Adoption of reusable wares will also result in a significant reduction of waste and a subsequent cut in hauling and disposal fees. By switching to plastic baskets, Bishop O’Dowd High School eliminated 1.68 tons of waste each year.
  • With Ahimsa stainless steel, your school’s environmental footprint will be greatly reduced. It also creates an opportunity for your school to demonstrate its commitment to environmental stewardship and model leadership in this field for your students.
  • QUALITY & SAFETY We go above and beyond the required USA regulations to ensure our products’ safety.
  • In 2018, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released a Food Additives and Child Health policy statement warning parents that chemicals in plastic are harmful to a child’s hormones, growth and brain development. One way to reduce exposure to food additives is to “use alternatives to plastic, such as glass or stainless steel” to serve and store food.
