Hi, we’re Stasher — the simple, reusable alternative to plastic bags. Made with platinum food-grade silicone and a leak-free Pinch-Loc® seal, our bags and bowls save 260 single-use plastic bags from the ocean a year. Since our founding in 2016, we’ve earned numerous awards for design and innovation, including the 2023 POPSUGAR Wellness Award, Good Housekeeping “Kitchen Gear” Award for 2022 and 2021, and we're a two-time Global Innovation Award recipient and Wirecutter Pick. Together, our Stasher Squad has saved over 5.5 billion plastic bags from entering our oceans and waterways. And that’s not all, because every year we donate to nonprofits working for ocean health, like the Surfrider Foundation. Ditch the single-use plastic for our versatile reusables and help us Save What Matters®.
