This new addition to the Stasher System is designed for life's in-between moments

EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 12, 2026 /CNW/ -- Stasher, the brand that pioneered reusable silicone food storage, is expanding its offering with the launch of Stasher Recyclable Paper Bags, its first single-use solution designed to replace everyday single-use plastic bags at an accessible price point.

Recyclable and completely plastic-free, these paper bags are designed to work alongside Stasher's signature silicone line. They're perfect for dry snacks, baked goods, and sandwiches (hold the sauces), making them a go-to for lunchboxes, field trips, team snacks, and everyday grab-go-and-share occasions.

Reusables remain at the heart of Stasher's mission. But the brand is leaning into a simple truth: sometimes, convenience wins, and too often, that still means relying on single-use plastic. By offering single-use products that are recyclable, budget-friendly and made responsibly, Stasher is expanding its "Stasher System": a smarter approach to living life with less plastic across more moments.

"Stasher has always been about helping people make small, impactful changes in their daily routines, and we're excited to broaden our offering to make those moments easier than ever with our new products," said Hilary McGuigan, Vice President of Marketing at Stasher. "With Paper Bags, we're meeting consumers where they are—offering an option for instances when reusables aren't practical. This isn't a shift away from reusability; it's a strategic expansion of our mission."

Stasher Recyclable Paper Bags are fully plastic-free and feature a food-safe, no-wax formula designed to avoid transferring taste or odor. Key features include:

• Made in the USA: Crafted from materials manufactured domestically.
• FSC-Certified Paper: Sourced from responsibly managed forests.
• Recyclable Design: Can be recycled with cardboard in most municipal programs — simply remove food residue, fold flat, and recycle.*
• Lightweight & Easy to Pack: Sealable paper closure helps keep contents fresh, while gusseted sides allow bags to hold more than expected.
• Playful Designs: Available in illustrated prints, including dinosaur and bee motifs, to make sustainability more approachable.

Stasher Recyclable Paper Bags are available at www.stasherbag.com and Amazon for $9.99 per 50-count pack in Sandwich and Snack sizes. Costing less than $0.20 a bag, Stasher's Recyclable Paper Bags are an affordable way to help everyone live life with less plastic™.
