FAQs
Are these containers truly reusable?
Yes, they are designed for multiple uses and are intended for reuse rather than single use. They are made from durable polypropylene.
Can I use these for hot liquids?
While they are heat resistant and microwave safe, it's recommended to avoid filling them with boiling liquids. Allow extremely hot foods to cool slightly before transferring them to the container.
How many containers are included?
This specific product listing is for a pack of 25 containers with lids.
What is the exact volume of these containers?

Are the lids interchangeable with other container sizes?
Lids are typically designed to fit specific container sizes. It is unlikely they are interchangeable with different volumes.
Can I use these for non-food items?
Yes, their versatility allows them to be used for storing and organizing non-food items as well.
What does 'circular economy' mean in relation to these containers?
It means the containers are designed to be reused multiple times and are made from a material (mono-polymer polypropylene) that can be fully recycled and reprocessed into new products of the same quality.
Troubleshooting
Lid not sealing properly
Ensure the rim of the container and the inside of the lid are clean and free of debris. Align the lid carefully and press down firmly around the edges.
Container has discolored after microwaving
This can happen with certain high-fat or high-sugar foods. Ensure you are not overheating food and that the container is suitable for the specific food type. Microwave for shorter intervals and stir to distribute heat evenly.
Container appears warped after washing/heating
Verify that the microwave or dishwasher is operating within expected temperature ranges. Avoid direct contact with heating elements in the microwave. Ensure the container is placed correctly in the dishwasher.
