Why Ahimsa?

Reusable cafeteria trays. Stainless steel cafeteria trays as featured on Good Morning America - the safest, most durable option option for kids
Stainless steel cafeteria trays for schools as featured on Good Morning America GMA - safe, durable, eco-friendly - the best option for kids, the planet and school budgets
Why stainless steel at my school?

  • For our children’s health

    The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says that chemicals in plastic are harmful to a child’s hormones, growth and development —and recommends glass or stainless steel to serve and store food.

  • For our planet

    Plastic never truly completely decomposes. Plus, less than 10% of plastic has ever been recycled. Our trays are made from 100% recycled steel.

  • For your budget

    Reusable foodware saves money over time.
2022 Ahimsa School Cafeteria tray pricing - the average reorder time is > 10 years (compared to 1-3 years for plastic trays)
