Round Stainless Steel Ice Block Moulds feature six uncoated 18/8 food-grade stainless steel moulds. This rust-resistant, plastic-free system is dishwasher safe, durable and designed for long-term use as a reusable alternative for homemade frozen treats.

The Low Tox Project partners with experienced manufacturers specialising in stainless steel production who demonstrate responsible business operations, including fair wage practices, with these relationships reviewed regularly for value alignment. Product safety is managed through independent testing where applicable, review of supplier certifications and material specifications and in-house quality assurance processes in Sydney. The brand operates with a flexible work model, prioritising outcomes over rigid hours to support balance between work and family life. Where possible, fellow small Australian businesses are supported to strengthen values-aligned supply chains.
The Low Tox Project uses uncoated 18/8 stainless steel for its durability, corrosion resistance and recyclability, enabling products to replace short-life plastic alternatives without ongoing waste. Products are developed for long-term use, with longevity as a foundation. Packaging is kept minimal and recyclable. The brand is working with suppliers to identify alternatives to protective plastic wrapping used at the manufacturing stage to prevent transit damage. Waste reduction is considered at every stage of design and sourcing.
The Low Tox Project provides an extensive library of accessible articles and resources to help families make informed choices about materials in their homes. Its Facebook community of over 16,000 members offers peer support and shared experience around low tox living. The organisation regularly supports local schools, childcare centres, sporting clubs and community organisations through financial contributions and product donations and has partnered with childcare centres to introduce stainless steel tableware as an alternative to plastic in early learning environments.

Product Reviews by Experts


Uncoated 18/8 food-grade stainless steel is the most defensible material for ice block moulds – it has no coating to chip, no dyes to leach and no degradation pathway over time. The birchwood sticks are an elegant, practical choice over plastic alternatives and the six-mould configuration with silicone seals gives this product enough volume for a family without becoming unwieldy in the freezer. For any family trying to move away from processed, preservative-laden commercial ice blocks and make their own with whole-food ingredients, this is the functional tool that makes that habit sustainable. The Low Tox Project’s community-first approach – with a 16,000-member Facebook community providing peer support and education around low-tox living, and active partnerships with childcare centres to introduce stainless steel alternatives to plastic tableware – represents social impact that extends well beyond product sales. As a parent myself, the normalisation of lower-tox materials in early childhood environments is exactly the kind of upstream change that matters most. Their family-founded, parent-team operational model gives genuine authenticity to their positioning.


I really like the durability and simplicity of this product – it feels solid, high quality and built to last. The stainless steel design is a great plastic-free alternative, and the six-mould system makes it easy to prepare multiple ice blocks at once, which is ideal for families. I value the brand’s focus on longevity and material choice, using stainless steel to replace short-life plastic alternatives. The commitment to minimal, recyclable packaging and continuous improvement in reducing plastic during manufacturing is also encouraging. I especially appreciate the strong emphasis on education and community engagement – helping families make informed, practical changes towards lower-tox and lower-waste living.


What continues to impress me about The Low Tox Project is its ability to identify everyday products that many families use without question and offer a more considered alternative. We have purchased silicone ice block moulds in the past and, while they are widely available, I have often felt uncertain about their long-term use and durability. The stainless steel design feels like a thoughtful solution to a problem I had considered but never actively sought to solve. The quality, durability and material choices give me confidence that they will become a valuable addition to our household during the warmer months. I was particularly impressed by how deeply sustainability appears to be embedded throughout the business rather than treated as a marketing message. The emphasis on longevity, material safety, education and community engagement demonstrates a thoughtful and holistic approach to creating impact. I also appreciated the brand’s commitment to helping families make informed choices through accessible educational resources and practical low-tox alternatives. Their focus on durable materials, waste reduction and supporting broader community initiatives reflects a genuine commitment to helping consumers adopt more sustainable habits over the long term.
