SnackTAXI has been around since 2003 making reusable snack and sandwich bags, or as they call them “food movers for a happy planet!” Erin Kelly-Dill is the mom, owner, and creator, who designed snackTAXI “to stem the tide of plastic ziplock bags that flowed from our house to the landfill when our 3 kids started school! We pack over 500 lunches every year, and had definitely fallen prey to the easy appeal of the ziplock bag.”
SnackTAXIs are absolutely adorable and functional, and they are actually handmade in their home-based workshop by local sewers! Why use reusable? One reusable bag has the potential to eliminate an average of 1000 plastic bags over its lifetime!snackTAXIs are lined with coated nylon, and can be machine washed and dried, or simply wiped clean with a damp sponge.
I received a set of snackTAXIs in the mail to try and boy, was it love at first sight! They come in different sizes and are made with adorable fabrics, and the velcro closure is not only super fast (a lot easier than those green and blue Ziplock lines!), but it allows you to size the bags even smaller if needed (such as after the food is gone). They are SUPER easy to wash too – I just hand washed mine and then turned them inside out to dry.
From snackTAXI:
The exterior of a snackTAXI is comprised of 100% cotton. The manufacturer from which we order most of our cotton has had their material tested and found that it is free of lead and phthalates. We are considering ordering all of our cotton from this manufacturer in the future.
SnackTAXIs are lined with a waterproof material that consists of nylon with a polyurethane coating. After talking to many manufacturers of this product, we understand that this type of coated nylon is free of heavy metals and phthalates. We have found a supplier of this coated nylon who has had their product extensively tested. The tests revealed that the nylon is free of heavy metals (including lead), phthalates, PBBs, and PBDEs.
