Keep your bread fresh longer with our reusable Bread Bag. It is made from up to 10 recycled plastic drink bottles and is designed to replace single-use paper or plastic bread bags, plastic toggles, and ties.
They are also perfect for home bakers to store their loaves. Simply bake, allow your loaf to cool, slice, and freeze in your reusable bread bag!
Due to the unique roll and clip closure, you can simply roll down the closure as the loaf is eaten to ensure maximum freshness is maintained by reducing air movement around the bread.
Bread stored in one of our bread bags can last up to 3 months in a frost-free freezer and will not sustain freezer burn due to the unique double lining and airtight roll-and-lock closure.
To clean, you can just pull out the inner lining to dispose of any crumbs and reuse them again. You don’t necessarily have to wash it every time, but if you want to, a lukewarm hand wash is all that is necessary. We recommend handwashing only, as the metal buckles may damage the interior of a washing machine.
Hot Tip: Most fresh bread purchased at a bakery or made at home is preservative-free, meaning that your loaf will likely only last 2-3 days stored on your benchtop before going stale. To preserve your bread for longer, it is best to freeze it when it is cool but fresh.
Ideally, fresh bread should never be stored in the fridge, as this more moist environment can encourage bacteria to form mold on the bread's surface.
Please note: The goal of our reusable bread bags is to help people reduce single-use plastic waste when purchasing bread from the baker, not to make bread last longer on the benchtop.
Although technically plastic, our bags are made from recycled plastic drink bottles. The rPET material is woven in nature, not solid-state plastic like a single-use plastic bread bag, which is non-permeable for air and water.
Because of the woven nature of the fabric, a solid-state plastic bag will definitely prevent air from reaching the loaf better than our bread bags will when storing your bread on the bench top, which is why we mention that bread will only really last 2-3 days on the bench top, and will likely only be suitable for toast after the first 24 hrs. As mentioned above, however, our bags are Freezer Proof and store your bread really well when frozen from fresh for up to 3 months without freezer burn in a frost-free freezer.
Using beeswax wraps to wrap around the end of the bread being cut helps cut down on the exposure to air for the bread, but it is important that the bag can breathe, too. Again fresh bread from a bakers, which are often preservative free, will only last 2-3 days on the bench top anyway. It is best to freeze sliced bread from fresh if you want your bread to last a week or two.
Our bread bags are definitely at their best when used to collect bread from the baker and store fresh bakery or home-baked sliced bread in the freezer.
A note on our packaging: Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging which is made from post-consumer recycled material and printed with water based inks so it is suitable for both recycling or composting!
