Why It Matters

Do you really want to store your food in containers made from the same stuff as motor oil and gasoline? Neither do we.

A 10-pack of reusable silicone food containers will cost you about $15, but you could save $25 a year on sandwich bags.

Recommendations for how to take action

  • How To Start

    When using single-use food containers, choose recyclable or biodegradable options. Major retailers like Target sell paper options that are easy to recycle.

  • What Comes Next

    Invest in high-quality, reusable food containers. Glass, stainless steel, and silicone are all great options.
