Super easy — just stick it in the dishwasher! Or you can wash our reusables by hand with warm, soapy water. Here are some more general cleaning tips!

Yep, really.

No, please don’t do this! Turning our bags and bowls inside out can damage the integrity of the seal and lead to tears. Instead, place them upside down with the seal open on a drying rack.

You bet. All Stasher reusables are safe for cooking up to 425°F (218.33°C) in the oven, microwave, and sous vide. Plus, they’re safe to store in the freezer. Just keep these safety tips in mind: 

• Always keep the seal partially open when cooking in the oven or microwave. 
• Put your bags and bowls on a baking sheet when cooking in the oven. 
• Use tongs or gloves when handling a hot Stasher reusable; even better, cool before handling. 

Here are some more general cooking tips!

We’re glad you asked! Our Stasher Life blog is filled with recipes and cooking hacks for our Stasher bags and bowls. You can also find great tips by following our social pages — Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest are our personal favorites.

Yep!

Here are some great smoothie ideas for the freezer!

They’re durable, not indestructible. Avoid storing anything sharp like knives or letting puppy teeth get ahold of them.

Easy! Just use a non-toxic chalk marker (which you can buy online) to write directly on the matte side of your Stasher bag or the seal of your bowl. Wash off with warm water.Here’s our rec for pens to try.

Breathe. It’ll be okay. You can find tips for caring for our bags and bowls on our blog, but here’s a TLDR: 

For stains: Set your reusable in sunlight for a few hours to naturally “bleach.” 

For smells: Soak in a 50/50 warm water and vinegar bath for several hours or bake your reusables (yes, really) in the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes. 

For tackiness: Coat in a 6:2 ratio potion of baking soda and water, let sit for an hour, and rinse. 

Use a bottle brush to clean out the corners of your reusable — and give it a good scrub! Doing this after every use will prevent mold in the future. Then, sanitize in boiling water or a 50/50 water and vinegar bath.

Like we said above, a bottle brush is *chef’s kiss* for getting gunk out of the corners and seal. (Psst: We have a great one.) Otherwise, a dishwasher or warm, soapy water and a sponge is just fine.

Whoops. It happens. Depending on the size of the hole or tear, you can upcycle your Stasher — we’ve got some ideas in our blog. If it’s too damaged to reuse, please head to our recycling form for a free shipping label from TerraCycle, our recycling partner. We are sorry to say that we can't offer free labels for those being sent from outside the US - we are working on fixing this for the future and we appreciate your understanding!

For us, being sustainable means making products that help anyone reduce plastic and, most importantly, keep it out of our oceans. It’s not about being perfect, but rather thinking critically about single-use products. We’re a community dedicated to doing better by taking small steps toward eliminating plastic waste.

Our ocean is the foundation of the planet’s health. From climate change to microplastic pollution in our food system, disposable waste in the ocean impacts life all over the planet.

At Stasher, we define “clean” in a few different ways. From a materials perspective, our products are free of unwanted things like lead, latex, BPA, BPS, or other phthalates. Our bags and bowls can be safely heated and store everything from baby food to makeup and toiletries, then cleaned for repeated use. 

From a functionality perspective, our products are made to last and won’t degrade over time, plus can be recycled through our partnership with TerraCycle.

Yes! We strive to be as waste-free as possible, so all orders from stasherbag.com arrive without packaging. Plus, our packaging is 70% post-consumer recycled material. You’ll also find our products in retail locations with minimal packaging — it’s designed to be fully recyclable. Need care instructions when gifting? Here’s a digital version you can print.

Along with striving toward a waste-free world in our product development, we support nonprofits working on the ground via our Stasher Gives program. To date, we’ve given more than $1.3 million to nonprofit partners working to protect our planet! 

We also prioritize eco-purpose outings in our corporate office (like company beach cleanups!) and utilize TerraCycle in our office to reduce waste (like from everyone’s snacking). 

There’s always room for improvement, though — and we’re still learning. Currently, we’re auditing our supply chain and distribution process to pinpoint ways in which we can further reduce carbon emissions. This is a key part of our sustainability goals, and we can’t wait to share what we find! 

Stasher donates a portion of sales each year to nonprofits working to protect our planet and ocean, such as the Surfrider Foundation.

Definitely. Check out our blog for more ideas on sustainable shopping, zero-waste swaps for common plastic household items, and ways to use your Stasher reusables for so much more than storage.

We’re always working toward more product innovation. At Stasher, our mission is to create products that inspire everyone to reduce plastic waste — meaning we’re constantly looking for innovation, materials, and alternatives that help us achieve that goal while giving our Squad versatile and simple solutions to their everyday needs.

Though both Stand-Up bags and bowls have flat bottoms and feature our signature Pinch-Loc seal, there are key differences. Stand-Up bags are built with bulk storage and easy cooking in mind; bowls are slightly sturdier with a wide mouth opening (that stays sealed when you need it and open when you want it) and an easy-pour design for filling with liquids or dressings.

Silicone is a synthetic material made from a combination of silica (sand) and oxygen, typically used for houseware, sealants, and medical devices. One of the largest benefits to silicone is that it can safely endure high heat without changing form or releasing harmful chemicals. 

Stasher reusables are made with premium food-grade silicone, which is one of the highest quality tiers, and deemed safe for food use by the FDA as well as meeting the EU food safety certification. It’s cured to create a stable, versatile product that you can put in the oven (up to 425°F), freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. All our products are free of lead, latex, BPA, BPS, or other phthalates.  You can read more here.

Though general plastic and silicone are both man-made polymers (a molecule made by combining other, smaller molecules), that’s really where the similarities end. Most plastic can’t be heated or repeatedly reused whereas silicone is made with that flexibility in mind — and it won’t degrade. 

Because our products can be reused for years to come — and for a variety of purposes — they effectively help reduce the need for single-use plastics. You can read more here.

We suggest contacting your medical professional when you’re worried about using any new material.

All colorants and dyes used in our products are food-safe and pass testing requirements set by the FDA, as well as those in Canada, Europe, and other countries.

Yes! We want to ensure no Stasher product ends up in a landfill . . . or even worse (gulp), the ocean. First, try seeing if you can repurpose your bag.  

If it’s too damaged to reuse, please head to our recycling form for a free shipping label from TerraCycle, our recycling partner. We are sorry to say that we can't offer free labels for those being sent from outside the US - we are working on fixing this for the future and we appreciate your understanding!

Stasher products are designed in Emeryville, California and manufactured responsibly in China. We have a longstanding relationship with our factory team, who prioritize responsible production and worker safety. 

The manufacturing team is committed to making safe, high-quality products and works with many reputable brands, particularly in the creation of silicone products for infants. 

Our manufacturing facility has received the SA8000 standard certification,the world’s leading social certification program. It provides a holistic framework based on internationally recognized standards of decent work, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ILO conventions, and national laws. Auditing is a part of this certification and occurs on an annual basis to ensure that our facility remains compliant.

Living wage is a component of our SA8000 certification, so our facility must provide it. Additionally, the Global Living Wage Coalition and the Anker Living Wage Research Institute are partners in overseeing this certification with SAI. Learn more about it here.

Food-grade silicone – no matter where it’s manufactured – must meet certain standards set by the FDA to be legally sold in the United States. Stasher products are made with platinum, food-grade silicone and meet safety standards for food products from the FDA and EU regulators.

Sigh, we get it. Stasher bags and bowls are an investment, and we want to ensure they’re as available as possible while delivering high-quality design. That means you may see a higher price tag when compared to disposable plastic bags. 

But single-use plastic isn’t cheap. Over time, the cost adds up since it can’t be reused; you must purchase again and again. Think about it — you’re throwing away money every time you toss a plastic bag you bought in the trash. Just one Stasher bag replaces 260 single-use plastic bags per year and fulfills so many household needs beyond storage, saving you money in the long run.
