These Adorable Reusable Sandwich Bags Are Here to Stay

If you're trying to lessen your carbon footprint, these eco-friendly reusable options keep your lunch in one place and reduce the use of harmful plastics. By using just one reusable sandwich bag, you'll prevent the waste of hundreds of plastic bags that can't properly be disposed of due to dyes and fillers. While you could technically recycle plastic baggies (depending on where you live), the United States Environmental Protection Agency states that in general, the recycling rate of plastics is not where it should be. What's more, the most recyclable plastic (PET, or polyethylene terephthalate) is only being recycled about 20 to 30%, according to Berkeley Lab.

If you're ready to switch over to the green side, we've compiled a list of our favorite reusable bags that'll meet your needs in the kitchen and the lunch room. Plus, they're so darn cute that you won't even think about going back to plastic.
