Silicone Food Bags are an amazing alternative to plastic bags for food storage and snacking. 

Silicone food bags are 100% leak-proof, BPA-free, non-toxic, and can safely be used in the refrigerator, microwave, freezer, steamer, and dishwasher!

Silicone food bags can withstand temperatures from -76°F (-60° C) to 464°F (220°C). 

 

 

Here are some quick facts about plastic food storage bags by biologicaldiversity.org:

 

  • The average American family uses 500 Ziploc bags every year, most of which are thrown away after one use.  

  • According to Waste Management, only 1 percent of plastic bags are returned for recycling. That means that the average family only recycles 15 bags a year; the rest end up in landfills or as litter.
