The Best Plastic Bags: Disposable vs. Reusable | Gear Heads
Save on food and reduce plastic waste with our top picks.
If you’re trying to reduce your single-use plastics reusable food storage bags are a great place to start. Made from materials like silicone PEVA (polyethylene vinyl acetate) and fabric these bags can be reused hundreds of times helping to reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills. Not only that they can save you money in the long run.
Reusable food bags come in a variety of sizes from small snack bags for kids’ backpacks to gallon-sized bags that are perfect for storing ready-to-eat veggies or leftover soup. A good reusable food bag should seal well not leak and last a long time. It should also keep a wide variety of foods fresh without absorbing odors or stains. The most versatile bags are safe not only at room temperature but also in the refrigerator freezer microwave and even on the stovetop and in the oven. Many but not all are also dishwasher safe.
