Choosing stainless steels for an application ensures that it will be produced in a responsible way, with an extremely low life-cycle inventory (also known as the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions profile). Furthermore, stainless steel products have low, or close to zero, maintenance costs during their long life, and stainless steels can be reused indefinitely because they are easy to recycle without any loss of quality or material integrity.

Stainless steel reusable and microwave safe food containers

Most stainless steel food containers are made of 304 grade (18/8 stainless), and new microwave-safe containers have had their corners specially designed so they do not cause problems when used in a microwave oven. The safe use of these products is now guaranteed by many research organizations. Microwave-safe stainless steel food containers are now being sold in Asia, the United States, and Europe.

The main advantages of stainless steel microwave-safe food containers are:

  • Eco-friendly: A resilient, reusable and recyclable product that does not harm our environment, nor humans.
  • Food safe: A completely safe material that meets all global food hygiene standards.
  • Versatile: Innovative product that can be used in every appliance in your kitchen including microwave ovens!!
