4) Silicone Storage Bag

This reusable silicone bag cuts down on waste by replacing throwaway plastic baggies. Each is completely plastic-free, and seals up to keep food fresh. Eco-friendly, too, the bag is lunch box-ready, and can go from the pantry into the freezer, microwave, or dishwasher without worry. Is there anything this mighty bag can’t do? Well, it won’t break down like plastic does—or get tossed away.
5) Biodegradable Steam Wraps - 2-Pack

Microwave steam wraps help veggies come out of the microwave tasting crisp and fresh. Made in the USA with paper sustainably sourced from certified managed forests, a wrap helps lock in moisture while veggies cook. It’s a reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable alternative to plastic that can work on frozen foods, too.
