Say NO! to single-use disposable bread bags, toggles & ties and Hello! to ONYA’s vintage-styled reusable Bread Bags designed to carry your bread home in style without any packaging waste!
ONYA’s Reusable Bread Bag is made from up to 10x recycled plastic drink bottles and is designed to replace single-use paper or plastic bread bags, plastic toggles and ties. They are also perfect to use as storage for the home baker. Simply bake, allow your loaf to cool, slice and freeze in your reusable bread bag! This Bread Bag is big, measuring 41cm long x 27.5cm wide plus a 10cm gusset, to allow even high top loaves up to 16cm high to fit. The Bread Bags have been made to Australian Bakers Industry Standards and the bag dimensions have been modelled off the size of single-use plastic bags normally given out at bakeries. So they are designed to fit over most of the machines bakeries use when slicing the bread. Due to the unique roll and clip closure, you can simply roll down the closure as the loaf is eaten to ensure maximum freshness is maintained by reducing air movement around the bread. Bread stored in one of our bread bags can last up to 3 months in a frost-free freezer and will not sustain freezer burn due to the unique double lining and airtight roll and lock closure. To clean, you can just pull out the inner lining to dispose of any crumbs and reuse again. You don’t necessarily have to wash it every time, but if you want to, a lukewarm hand wash is all that is necessary. We recommend handwashing only, as the metal buckles may get damaged or damage a washing machine’s interior.

Hot Tip: Most fresh bread purchased at a bakery or made at home is preservative free meaning that your loaf will likely only last 2-3 days stored on your benchtop before going stale. To preserve your bread for longer it is best to freeze your bread when it is cool but fresh. Ideally, fresh bread should never be stored in the fridge as this more moist environment can encourage bacteria to form along the surface of the bread forming mold.
Please note: The goal for ONYA’s reusable bread bags is to be able to help people to reduce single-use plastic waste when purchasing bread from the baker, not to make bread last longer on the benchtop.
Although made from recycled plastic drink bottles and technically plastic, the rPET material that makes these bags is woven in nature not solid state plastic like a single-use plastic bread bag which is non-permeable for air and water. Because of the woven nature of the fabric, a solid-state plastic bag will definitely prevent air from reaching the loaf better than our bread bags will when storing your bread on the benchtop, which is why we mention that bread will only really last 2-3 days on the benchtop, and will likely only be suitable for toast after the first 24hrs. As mentioned above, however, ONYA’s bags are Freezer Proof and store your bread really well when frozen from fresh for up to 3 months without freezer burn in a frost-free freezer.
Using ONYA lunch wraps or even beeswax wraps to wrap around the end of the bread being cut helps cut down on the exposure to air for the bread, but it is important that the bag can breathe too. Again fresh bread from a bakers, which are often preservative-free, will only last 2-3 days on the benchtop anyway. It is best to freeze sliced bread from fresh if you want your bread to last a week or two.
ONYA bread bags are definitely at their best when used to not only collect your bread from the baker but also for storing your fresh bakery or home-baked sliced bread in the freezer.
