Ecologie Beeswax Sandwich Bags

The bags rely on the warmth of your hands to soften the wax coating. Simply place your sandwich inside, fold the top over, and hold it firmly with your palms for a few seconds to create a secure, airtight seal.

No, you should avoid using these bags for hot foods. Heat will melt the beeswax coating and ruin the seal. They are designed specifically for room-temperature or cold items like sandwiches, crackers, and fruit.

Wash them gently using cool water and a mild, eco-friendly dish soap. Avoid hot water, dishwashers, and microwaves, as high temperatures will melt the wax. Once cleaned, simply hang or lay them flat to air dry.

With proper care, these bags typically last about a year of regular use. You will know it is time to compost them when the wax coating begins to wear thin or the fabric loses its ability to seal effectively.

It is best to avoid using these for raw meat or fish. Because the bags are porous and cleaned with cool water, they cannot be sanitized to the high standards required to prevent cross-contamination from raw proteins.
