Boc n Roll

Cannot believe that I left my series of eco wrap aside when writing up the first article about my zero waste journey.  Probably coz I use this series of products so frequently and they are indeed part of my life.

Trying these in early 2016 coz I always dining out at that time while I haven't yet married.  I didn't want to leave leftover as food waste in the restaurant but sometimes it could be quite heavy to bring a glass food container along whole day.  Again, I hated dealing with plastic containers provided by the restaurant if I didn't bring mine.

Boc'n'Roll, recommended by my sister, apparently suits my need. I could put this almost weightless wrap in my handbag so I could use it whenever I need.  For examples, wanna buy pastry and bread from bakery, pack untouched spaghetti if my family ordered too much, pack freshly made panini from cafe near my office, pack fruit back to office, surely also leftover from restaurant.

After using Boc'n'Roll for a little while and I confirmed that I loved to use this product, I got a chance to redeem more from Delifrance. Four in total! Eventually I gave one to a flight attendant so she could pack unfinished meal from flight, and another to my auntie living in Paris who loves bread very much.  Right now all of them would be used to pack homemade bread.

The second product I own was Snack'n'Go snack bag. This was bought for my boyfriend coz he didn't get used to eating bread in a wrap when he was driving, which could be too messy for him.  Again, the first was redeemed from Delifrance.  The second one was redeemed for packing milk bottles as I became a breastfeeding mom who needed to pump everyday in my office.  Last year, my child loves to eat a slice of homemade bread packed in Snack'n'Go snack bag after school and sometimes I would put kid's cutlery into the snack bag when dining out.

The third product I obtained was Snack'n'Go pocket. Really forgot why I took it but eventually it is perfect to put all my medicine in after visiting clinic.  Two pocket design allows me to separate drug in liquid form, or in pill or capsule.  This product however should be no longer on the production line.  I couldn't find this on the Rolleat webpage.

The fourth product I tried was Snack'n'Go tube.  Why expanding my collection?  Being called as a monster of soup, I just wanted to use it to fit my Joseph Joseph soup pot so I could reduce use of plastic bags.  Now it is always used as my child's snack bag as she is able to firmly hold the ring as the tube opening.  Again, I think this is no longer on the production line.

The fifth product I had was Eat'n'Out.  It was a bit silly of buying this and I didn't think through before making the decision.  Yet, we now always use this for packing my child's meal when dining out.  After all, the adjustable shoulder strap provided allows you to make it as a cross bag or shoulder bag so you can have free hands to hold your child.  Quite thoughtful design.

Last product of my collection was Grab'n'Go.  I was invited to join a focus group discussing design of the product at that time so surely I love this product.  The first one I bought was for all my sterilized pumping accessories.  I felt far less guilty during my entire breastfeeding journey as I used almost no plastic bags.  My child also loved to play with the buckle when she was about 1 and now uses it as her little handbag.

Some people indeed asked me a lot about this product and I don't mind at all to lend them to give a try before committing.  They can make a more sound decision afterwards.  I recalled a mom said she didn't want to have a Snack'n'Go for her son after trying.  Instead, she could modify the design and made a tailor made snack bag for her son.  Nanny of my child and my helper asked me separately to buy them one or two Boc'n'Roll for their family.  Why not share your joy and experience with others who wanna try a taste of zero waste life?

May be you would challenge me that they are made of plastic. Shouldn't we avoid plastic?  I have no definite answer but as long as I can reduce the use of disposable plastic bags, why not?

Here comes with some useful links if you want to know more about this brand and get more ideas how to make use of them to help you achieve a zero waste life!
