ECOLUNCHBOX LAUNCHES INNOVATIVE NEW LUNCHWARE COLLECTION ECOlunchbox has taken plastic-free food containers to a new level. Its new Blue Water Bento collection combines non-toxic stainless steel containers with leak-proof lids made from sili- cone. It's an innovative, next genera- tion solution for savvy millennials and other eco-friendly consumers seeking products that are healthy for people and the planet. Launched on Kickstarter, the new ECOlunchbox food container collection received a standing ovation from backers all over the world, raising more than 200 percent of its funding target. "We were thrilled by the Kickstarter support we received for the launch of our Blue Water Bento line," said Sandra Ann Harris, a California eco mom and mis- sion-based entrepreneur who founded the company in 2009. "Clearly there's a big appetite in the marketplace international- ly for our innovative, eco-friendly con- tainers." No Compromise Eco Values Since launch, Blue Water Bento has received rave reviews from fans who love the practicality of no-leak lids, the nesting features of the containers and the joy of using no plastic for their food storage. The collection includes four modular and nesting lunch containers and three matching lunch bags: The Splash Box, a large rectangular lunch container, perfect for packing a meal; The Splash Pod, a smaller rectangular snack container, two fit perfectly side-by-side in the Splash Box; The Seal Cup Solo, a small round snack cup great for yogurt, dress- ings or trail mix; The Seal Cup Trio, a set of three nesting round containers in graduated sizes; and organic cotton canvas lunch bags with seahorse, whale and dolphin designs that coordinate with the containers. Designed For and By the Ocean Blue Water Bento line is designed for and by the ocean. The cause-driven company is a leader in using the marketplace to drive change. "Our products are useful tools for smart everyday living," Harris explains. "The containers are leak- proof, nesting for each storage and dishwasher safe. We'll be expanding the line in 2016 due to strong sales on the rollout collection." ECOlunchbox presented its story on Capitol Hill to ocean caucus leaders last year. The company has sold more than 285,000 ECOlunchboxes so far and averted through their use and disposal tens of millions of pieces of trash. Blue Water Bento Specifications Silicone is not plastic, which is a petroleum-based materi- al. Silicone is BPA free and non-toxic. Silicone is much more durable than plastic and can be safely washed in the dishwasher. Stainless steel is non-toxic, durable, unbreakable (unlike glass containers which aren't allowed in schools) dish- washer safe and resists stains and odors. A typical American family packing lunch with reusables can save more than $400 a year and avert the use and dispos- al of more than 4,320 pieces of trash. For details, see ECOlunchbox's Lunch Study online at www.ecolunchboxes.com. The company is currently seeking to expand placement in upscale grocery chains, big box retailers and outdoor recreation stores. Visit ECOlunchbox at booth #S3547.

HIGH-QUALITY COOKWARE AND BAKEWARE The Americraft Cookware manufacturing facility is located in West Bend, Wisconsin with corporate offices in cen- tral Florida. Cookware produced by Americraft is some of the finest in the industry. The company has taken advan- tage of the rich heritage developed by generations of cookware artisans in the heartland of America. It has expanded upon its technology, updated the design and developed products for the next gen- eration of cooking enthusiasts. Highlighted brands are Kitchen Craft and 360 Cookware. Kitchen Craft is an exciting product line that combines the beauty and con- ductivity of clad metal with a modern design and the additional benefit of cook- ing with vapor technology for healthier and tastier meals. This high-performance cookware is made of multiple layers of metals that heat not only the bottom of the pan like ordinary cookware, but also through the sides and up the lip to cook food quickly and evenly while using less energy. By taking advantage of the vapor technology cooking option, families can enjoy recipes prepared with no added fats, oils or excess water for meals that are nutri- tious, flavorful and appetizing. Kitchen Craft Cookware also offers bakeware in its product line. The offering includes popular items such as baking sheets, loaf pans, cake pans, jelly roll pans and a few more. The construction quality and consistency was transferred to the bakeware line, and the result is baked goods that cook evenly with reduced cooking times. All bakeware and cookware items are built to last and are accompanied by a lifetime warranty. Durable, recyclable and without the harmful chemicals found in coated pans, stainless steel is already the environmentally friendly choice in cook- ware, but Kitchen Craft is a truly eco- conscious product since it uses less ener- gy than conventional cookware and is produced in the greenest cookware man- ufacturing facility in America – a point of pride and significance for the owners and management of the company. Kitchen Craft offers a variety of sauce pans, stock pots, casseroles, slow- cookers, sauté and fry pans. For more information, go to www .cookingshowhost.com.
