U-Konserve

Long before zero-waste living was making headlines, U-Konserve was creating products to help people live a zero-waste lifestyle. The company was founded by two friends who believed that small changes could have a huge impact on the global movement to protect our planet. They became increasingly concerned about the environment and wanted to make it easy for parents to reduce the plastic baggies, juice boxes and packaged foods piling up in landfills. In 2008 the founders created the first zero-waste lunch kit for elementary schools, and the new venture was born.

Empowering Families to Choose Reusables

U-Konserve is built around supporting people who want to make more mindful choices. Their products are created to help families, students, and busy households make small, achievable swaps that add up to lasting change. The brand listens closely to the needs of real users, designing solutions that simplify the shift to reusable, long-lasting everyday essentials. Through education, partnerships, and community engagement, U-Konserve inspires people to feel empowered in their sustainability journey, reminding everyone that progress is possible one decision at a time.

Small Swaps, Big Planet Impact

The innovative lunch kits spurred an entirely new lifestyle for thousands of families looking to tread lightly on the planet. The reusable concept caught on, and more products were developed. What started as a resource for school children quickly became a full line of zero-waste food-storage essentials for the whole family at home and on the go.

As a member of 1% for the Planet, the company is using business for good by creating a positive impact for employees, communities and the environment. The initial mission to protect the planet has grown into a lifestyle of reusing more, wasting less, and raising awareness about the exciting and growing movement to reduce single-use plastic.
