1000 Flowers for the Planet - #620 Use a Tiffin
This is such a cute idea, which comes from India and other Asian
countries, where family members take hot lunches to loved ones in a little
carry pot. The lunch is called a Tiffin and the container a Tiffin carrier. The
idea has taken off in Melbourne, Australia where an enterprising business
provides hot meals delivered around the CBD in Tiffin carriers, which can be
purchased outright by the end user and swapped over on a daily basis when lunch
is delivered. They make the deliveries by bicycle. What a great idea!
Tiffin carriers are made from various materials, including plastic of
course, but you can get all-metal tiffins if you’re living a plastic free or
plastic ‘less’ life. They make a fantastic alternative to most other takeaway
lunch containers, which are usually made of single use plastic – using fossil
resources and creating plastic waste and landfill. See how a Tiffin carrier
could fit into your life.
