Top Plastic-Free Lunchbox Solutions in India 2025: Why Baboons Beats Borosil and Global Brands

🥪 Introduction: Rethinking Food Storage in 2025

From school lunchboxes to weekend snacks, parents today want more than convenience—they want safety, durability, and eco-friendly choices.

While brands like Borosil Food Fresh, Pyrex, and Rubbermaid dominate the glass and plastic storage market, there's a growing shift in India toward stainless steel tiffin boxes—led by brands like Baboons.

And it’s not just a trend. It’s a movement toward plastic-free parenting.
