We’re Redefining Everyday Essentials — Without the Waste.

Back-to-school season brings fresh routines — and fresh challenges. Between packing snacks, organizing school supplies, and keeping things tidy in your child’s backpack, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before 8 a.m. You want to make mornings easier. You want to send your kids off with healthy snacks and clean supplies. You want less waste, less clutter, and more confidence. That’s where Durbl’s Starter Set comes in. These durable, reusable silicone bags are a small shift that can simplify your school mornings in big ways — all while helping your kids stay organized and start learning sustainable habits early on. One Set, Many Uses — For Food & Beyond The Durbl Starter Set includes five BPA-free, food-safe silicone bags in a variety of sizes: 1. Snack Bags (2x) Perfect for: • Pretzels, fruit slices, crackers, trail mix • Yogurt or dip (they’re leak-resistant!) • Small, easy-to-open size for little hands 2. Sandwich Bags (2x) Best for: • Flat snacks like granola bars, tortillas, fruit leather • Organizing non-food items: crayons, pencils, wipes, masks • Keeping the backpack tidy and clutter-free Note: These bags are flat by design — for bulkier snacks like sandwiches or muffins, we recommend the Half Gallon Bag or Fold-up Containers for more room and structure. 3. Half Gallon Bag (1x) Great for: • Packing full lunches • Storing a spare outfit, wet wipes, or accident-ready items • Weekend field trips or after-school sports Empower Independence & Build Sustainable Habits With Durbl, kids can: • Pack their own snacks and supplies • Sort their things by type or color • Learn to reduce waste and take care of their belongings And for parents? • Less plastic • Less cleanup • Less stress It’s a simple, repeatable system — and a great first step toward a more organized school year. What Parents Are Saying “These bags changed how we pack for school. My daughter puts her snacks in her own bag now and even remembers to bring it home and rinse it out. She loves the colors and I love not buying boxes of plastic bags anymore.”— Danielle M., Illinois Small Change. Real Impact. Every snack packed in a Durbl bag is one less piece of plastic in the trash. Every organized backpack is one less stressful morning.This school year, give your kids something more than just lunch. Give them a head start on good habits. It all starts with one bag.

New semester, new routine — and let’s be honest, mornings can feel like chaos. You’re rushing to get everyone ready, find missing notebooks, and pack lunch before the school bell rings. That’s where one simple system can make a big difference. With just four sizes of the Durbl Fold-up Containers (400ml, 600ml, 900ml, 1200ml), you can plan and pack a full week of nutritious, no-waste lunches that are easy for kids to carry and even easier for parents to prep. Let’s break it down — five school days, five easy lunch ideas, and zero single-use plastic. Monday Start the week light and colorful Mini veggie cheese wraps (600ml)Whole wheat tortillas filled with sautéed peppers and shredded mozzarella, pan-toasted and sliced. Carrot sticks & amp; corn chips (400ml)Crunchy, dippable, and snackable. Tip: Durbl containers are non-divided. To separate sauces or snacks, use paper cups, silicone dividers, or condiment jars inside. Tuesday Leftovers, reimagined Fried rice with eggs & peas (900ml)Use last night’s rice, add scrambled eggs, diced carrots, and green peas — all in one hearty box. Apple slices + crushed almonds (400ml)Soak apples in lemon water to keep fresh; top with chopped nuts. Make extra and split into two containers if your child prefers lighter portions. Wednesday Midweek power salad day Quinoa veggie salad (1200ml) Layers of cooked quinoa, corn, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and grilled chicken. Dress with olive oil + lemon juice before sealing. Bonus: Small sauce jars fit snugly inside. Durbl containers are leak-resistant for wet dressings too. Thursday Snack-style, lunch-worthy Cheesy bean tortilla bites (600ml)Tortillas filled with black beans and shredded cheese, baked until crisp and sliced into triangles. Mandarin orange segments (400ml)Pre-peeled and packed, easy to grab and go. All containers are fridge- and freezer-safe, great for cold items and yogurt-based snacks. Friday End on a high note with kid-favorite flavors Pizza rice bowl (900ml)Stir cooked rice with tomato sauce, top with cheese, pepperoni slices, and veggies — bake 8 minutes, cool and pack. Strawberries + yogurt (in separate jar) (400ml)Pair with a spoon for a sweet finish. Durbl Packing Tips No dividers = more space, more freedom. Use internal paper cups or liners for texture separation if needed. Folds down after eating — saves backpack space. Food-grade silicone, leak-resistant, dishwasher & microwave safe. Color-coded organization: Use different sizes/colors for mains, sides, and snacks — kids learn to pack independently too. One Container. Real Change. Sustainable living doesn’t need to be complicated. A reusable container helps reduce waste, build habits, and teach responsibility. This semester, pack more than just lunch.Pack good habits with Durbl.

Every new school year is a chance to start over — new books, new timetables, new goals. But here’s a simple question: Are we still packing school lunches, snacks, and fruit in disposable plastic bags? Real change doesn’t have to be dramatic. Sometimes, it starts with a small choice — like switching to a reusable food container.At Durbl, we believe the back-to-school season is the perfect time for students and families to take one easy, meaningful step toward sustainability: say no to single-use plastic. How Bad Is the Plastic Problem at School? According to a 2024 report from Environment America, the average U.S. student generates 67 pounds of plastic waste per school year — mostly from disposable lunch items like plastic bags, cutlery, and wrappers. Across the country, that adds up to over 14,500 tons of school-related plastic waste every single day. Worse still, many of these plastics contain chemicals like styrene and BPA, which are linked to health risks in children. The good news? Students themselves are stepping up to lead change. In Texas, three fourth-graders at a public school led a successful campaign to ban Styrofoam trays — eliminating 22 million trays from landfills each year. Campus waste reduction is becoming a reality. Cutting back on plastic doesn’t have to be complicated. The best solution is one that’s easy, practical, and fits into a student’s daily routine. That’s exactly what Durbl is designed for.  Durbl: A Smarter, More Sustainable Way to Pack School Food Durbl offers a full lineup of food-grade, reusable silicone containers made to simplify school life — from breakfast prep to snack breaks, club lunches, and even dorm cooking. 1.
