People typically use either single-use paper or plastic bags to store their work or school lunch in. These materials are not eco-friendly as paper bags result in millions of trees being cut down every year, while plastic bags fill up landfills and cannot biodegrade. Additionally, plastic food bags can have a negative impact on you and your child's health due to toxic substances like BPA and PVC. Non-reusable food bags need to be purchased each time they are used and this cost can add up over the years.
Eco friendly, reusable food packaging bags help to reduce your waste, keep food fresh, are easy to wash and can be used repeatedly for years to come.
The Australian Organic Directory lists companies who make and sell eco-friendly, biodegradable reusable food bags, food covers, bread bags, lunch boxes, produce bags and reusable food wraps and pockets.
