Battle Green’s Organic Cotton Bread Bag

Battle Green organic cotton bread bag is the ideal way to keep your bread loaves fresh, so you can buy plastic-free loaves at local bakeries or supermarkets. It can easily handle a large loaf or several bread rolls, and is wrapped in a recycled card ‘belly band’.

If making bread, keep fresh dough (and salt, dried fruit, onion, garlic) away from pets. Also don’t give leftover stale/mouldy/crusty bread to garden birds or wildfowl (due to salt and fat, which can smear on feathers, affecting waterproofing/insulation).

Most bread on sale is wrapped in plastic, but this is actually not good to keep bread fresh, as it traps  moisture, and causes the crust to soften and encourages mould growth. Bread is one of the top food waste items (often because loaves are sold in too-large a size for one-or-two person households.

Wash on a cool setting and allow to air-dry. Made from organic cotton, so it won’t release plastic microfibers during washing.

The bag is made from GOTS certified organic Fair Trade cotton, with a label number inside each bag, meaning it is also made in fair working conditions and uses eco dyes.
