Newell Brands' (NWL) Rubbermaid Launches New Food Storage Line

With stay-at-home norms in place, more and more people are spending time in the kitchen. As a result, the need for efficient food storage arises. Newell Brands Inc.’s NWL Rubbermaid brand has come up with a new product, EasyFindLids, a food storage container. Notably, these are BPA-free, microwave-safe, freezer-safe and dishwasher-safe and available in different shapes and sizes, in sets of 24-42 pieces. Customers across the United States can buy these online at Target TGT, Walmart WMT and Amazon AMZN at prices starting from $12.

The product also features the SilverShield technology and built-in antimicrobial properties, which will protect the container against unwanted microbes. Apart from lifetime antimicrobial protection, this new technology will prevent odor-causing bacteria that grow on the surface of the container and the lid. It is also in sync with the FDA guidelines for food contact surfaces. Further, this new storage solution will help reduce clutter, making it convenient for customers.

We hope that the latest launch will not only prove beneficial to customers but also contribute to the company’s top line.
