According to the Steel Recycling Institute, steel can be recycled over and over and over again without losing its integrity and requires less energy to recycle than to make anew. Most plastic unfortunately ends up in landfills and it is estimated to take 700 years to decompose. Our special coloring process that allows Ahimsa® products to be fully metal is environmentally friendly, so it does not produce toxic run-off into the ecosystem.

Our products are meant to last, you can use Ahimsa at ages 1, 8 and 18! We thoughtfully design our products to be safe for little ones and our planet while reducing consumption.

The first years set the stage for healthy habits for the rest of your child’s life. It’s never too early to start.

Balanced Bites Plates:
Our compartment plates are a visual map for parents to plan and for children to learn about the importance of food variety at each meal. Additionally, parents have found by using stainless steel rather than dinnerware that can be microwaved – they are choosing more healthy, fresh foods for their children.

Cups:
Ahimsa cups are not only inert stainless steel and therefore, nontoxic and do not leach chemicals – but they are also the perfect size for small hands. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advises that sippy cups should not be used for extended periods of time due to tooth decay. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association discourages sippy cups because they can interfere with a child’s ability to develop a mature swallowing pattern. We are so happy to offer cups that promote health not only due to their makeup, size and structure – but also to encourage healthy teeth, eating and speech development.

Utensils:
Encouraging children to use utensils during meals helps with pincer grasp and fine motor development. Parents have shared with us that their children often chose not to use their utensils until they started using our brightly colored cutlery and then continued to do so through habit.

We use a method called Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), which is free of harmful chemicals and safe enough to be used in medical implants. This is non-toxic. The color comes from titanium nitride (NOT titanium dioxide), a metal compound known for its safety. It is biocompatible, chemically inert, and stable under harsh conditions, making it ideal for biomedical devices and food-contact applications. Our process involves no extra chemical coatings, paints, or powder coatings. We care deeply about children’s health and chose this process for its safety!

The PVD process vaporizes titanium and deposits it onto the stainless steel, creating a durable, safe layer. The core remains 100% stainless steel.

Yes! We regularly test for safety and comply with all relevant standards. We go above and beyond FDA standards and have created our own Ahimsa standard based on more stringent standards from Europe. We do everything we can to ensure:
