Reusable sandwich wraps and bags are alternatives to plastic bags (often made from clingfilm, which is polluting to produce and nearly impossible to recycle). As most have a waterproof lining, wipe-clean to avoid microplastics escaping the machine, or if laundering, use a microplastic catch bag. You can often double-them-up to use as place mats, say if you’re eating in the park or at a picnic bench. Then just wrap up, and wipe clean when you’re home. This organic cotton food wrap is available in a variety of prints, including denim chambray.
Tabitha Eve Sandwich Wrap is made from cotton and food-safe PUL, to keep sandwiches fresh. You can also double it up as a wipeable place mat, for eating at your desk or on a picnic. In four patterns: owls, cats, flower garden or surprise. Care instructions – wash cool, do not tumble dry.
