A Way to Stop Using Ziploc Bags: Reusable Sandwich Bags

It seems wasteful to just throw away a Ziploc bag (or no-name brand plastic bag, whatever you use) into the garbage, forever destined to a life at the bottom of the landfill, doesn’t it? The worst part is that the plastic never really breaks down, it just sits there and starts to break down into smaller pieces of plastic. In short, plastic is here to stay. Once it’s here, it will never go anywhere. That’s why going reusable with your sandwich bags is such an eco friendly choice. Reusable sandwich bags haven’t become popular yet, but they will! You can jump on the bandwagon first and get your own reusable sandwich bags here.

Another added to these reusable sandwich bags is that they are BPA free. That’s bisephenol a, a chemical found in many plastics that can cause reproductive harm, amongst other health issues. The effects of BPA on toddlers and adults alike have been heavily debated. The best choice you can make for you and your kids is an informed one!

Besides the lack of BPA, these reusable sandwich bags are nifty because they fold out into an eating area. This is really convenient when the table you are eating at is dusty, or questionable. When you’re done with your lunch, pack it up, take it home, and give it a quick wash (with organic soap if you have it!). The bag is big enough to fit a sandwich, along with some fresh snacks like apples, pears, cut celery or carrots. These make a great eco friendly alternative to ziploc bags, disposable sandwich bags, and brown paper bags. Send your kid off to school with one of these reusable bags, take them to work, or take them to school!
