A family business, and the Australian home of U-Konserve

We are a family business based in Brisbane, and we bring U-Konserve to Australia: we keep the range in stock at our warehouse in Seventeen Mile Rocks, pack your order there and send it Australia-wide, and we supply U-Konserve to shops around the country.

Made to be used for years

Stainless steel and platinum silicone

U-Konserve containers are made from 304 (18/8) stainless steel, with lids of platinum-grade silicone. Nothing to throw away after lunch: just good containers that are built to be used day after day.

That is the whole idea behind the brand's line, Buy Once. Reuse Forever. The steel range is free of BPA, BPS, phthalates and lead, and with care it will last many years.

Why we love it

Everyday details

  • Leak-proof platinum silicone lids that are easy for little hands to open.
  • Dishwasher safe, and the containers and lids are freezer safe.
  • Shapes that stack and nest, so the cupboard stays tidy.
  • Tare weights etched on the steel, handy for bulk-food shopping.
  • The steel containers go in the oven up to 150°C (not the microwave). For the microwave there is the Bounce Box, 100% platinum silicone.

Where it all began

The brand's story

U-Konserve started in 2008 as Kids Konserve, when two friends, Lynn Julian and Chance Claxton, set out to make waste-free school lunches easy for families. They worked from their homes, Chance in Sausalito, just across the bay from San Francisco, and Lynn in Scottsdale, Arizona, and created the first zero-waste lunch kit for primary schools.

What began as a lunch kit for school children grew into a full range of food storage for the whole family: for lunches, meal prep, picnics and leftovers, at home and on the go.
