Great for an eco or corporate gift and one that makes you stand out form the crowd.
Let your food go nude !
Wouldn't it feel great to stop using all those plastic bags and plastic wrap !
Good Planets are hard to find....at 4MyEarth® we have worked out a rough guide as to how much a child would use in plastic wrap based on a sandwich, muffin and nuts/sultanas in their lunch bag each day for a year. We worked it out to be 105 meters of plastic wrap that would be dumped into our ever increasing landfill. Times this by a small school of 450 students and it comes to a massive 47'250 meters per year
Ethically Made
4MyEarth has worked very hard at finding and sourcing manufacturers that are aware of the importance of environment and work place conditions and that there is no child labour as our awesome products are produced in India which is where our unique fabric is produced and the logo organic inking is also carried out.
All products can be washed & rinsed in warm soapy water or machine washed in cold water (using your delicates bag is a brilliant way to keep your 4MyEarth® goodies looking their best !) We recommend using eco friendly laundry or dishwashing products & washing before use.
4MyEarth® NZ (with a zero waste philosophy) is proud to be associated with the fantastic brand new Remarkables Primary School in Frankton (Queenstown) along with other schools and education facilities around New Zealand.

Why is our 4MyEarth® fabric so eco friendly ?
When researching the many fabrics available for our wraps and pockets it was important that it meet certain standards that should be important to everyone. We did not want just any old fabric that is called food safe, or one that at the end of its use cannot break down. With all of this in mind it took over 6 months to find a suitable material that was confirmed and had been tested to ensure that it was safe,non-toxic and suitable to be used with food.
4MyEarth® Fabrics that we use for our wraps and pockets is polyester and is manufactured under strict conditions to ensure that there are no harmful substances present while been manufactured and at the same time being conscious of our environment.
Our unique and environmentally friendly coating that is free of PVC, Vinyl, PUL, EVA, Phthalate and preservatives 320 & 321, (found on commonly used plastic wrap) keeps food fresh, is non-toxic, breathable and conforms to FDA standards. The coating itself is heavy metal free and naturally decomposes without harm to the environment, unlike PUL which is not biodegradable.
Tests conducted by SGS which evaluates and screens for any harmful substances present within processed textiles intended to come into contact with consumers are done so to meet those standards of Oeko-Tex 100 standards. Our wraps and pockets are all hand or machine washable.
