I’ll be honest — I used to cringe every time a server handed me a Styrofoam box for my leftovers. I knew it would end up in a landfill (or worse, the ocean), and I also knew it wasn’t great for my health. But what choice did I have?
That frustration is what led me to create BYOB — Bring Your Own Box, a reusable to-go container designed to solve the problems plastic and Styrofoam created.
Here’s why the old way doesn’t work — and how you can make the switch to something better.

They harm the planet.
Styrofoam takes more than 500 years to break down — and even then, it just becomes microplastics. The EPA has ranked Styrofoam among the top contributors to coastal litter. Every takeout meal that comes in a clamshell has a lasting footprint - shame.

They’re bad for your health.
Research has found that plastics can leach BPA, phthalates, and other endocrine disruptors when exposed to heat, acidic foods, or oils. Microplastics have even been discovered in human blood and breastmilk. If we don’t want that in our food, why keep eating from plastic?

They clutter our kitchens.
Most of us have a stressful cabinet of mismatched lids and bulky plastic containers. It wastes space, time, and energy every single day.

I wanted a solution that was safe, sustainable, and simple. That’s why I designed BYOB from LFGB-certified platinum silicone — the highest standard of food-safe silicone in the world.
Here’s what makes it different:
- ✅ Collapsible design — expands when you need it, folds flat when you don’t
- ✅ Attached lid — no more hunting for the right top in a messy drawer
- ✅ Oven- and microwave-safe — reheat your leftovers safely, without toxins
- ✅ Lightweight and portable — toss it in your purse, backpack, or car
- ✅ Stylish and giftable — minimal, photogenic, and perfect for eco-conscious friends.
Healthier, Safer, Smarter
🟢 Safe for You
No BPA, phthalates, or hidden chemicals. BYOB is completely microplastic-free, so you can eat with peace of mind.
🟢 Sustainable for the Planet
If just 1 in 10 people brought their own container to restaurants, we’d eliminate millions of Styrofoam boxes each year. That’s real impact.
🟢 Space-Saving for Your Kitchen
BYOB collapses flat when not in use and stacks neatly. That means no more overcrowded cabinets stuffed with cheap plastic containers and random lids.
How to Start a Microplastic-Free Routine
- Keep a BYOB handy. I rotate 2–3 containers so there’s always a clean one ready.
- Bring it to restaurants. Most servers love seeing someone make a sustainable choice.
- Use it at home. Store leftovers, pack lunches, or even reheat meals directly in the oven.
- Gift the swap. BYOB makes a thoughtful gift for eco-conscious friends and family.
