I LOVE Ziploc and couldn't go a day without their products. Quite honestly though, I didn't realize how dependent I was on Ziploc until I was given the opportunity to write this review. It dawned on me that I use Ziploc products from morning to night, just about EVERY day. I use Ziploc sandwich bags and storage containers every morning, to pack our lunches, and afterschool snacks. I like how the products keep dry contents dry and fresh & wet contents from spilling all over. I am an anti-food waster and pack up any leftover food from breakfast, lunch, and dinner into Ziploc storage containers to be reheated for future meals. At any given time I have at least 4 Ziploc containers (which stack perfectly and have leak resistant seals) in variable sizes in my refrigerator. Here is a picture of the Ziploc containers I pulled out of my fridge this past Thursday, and this is a typical example of my usage:
The bags in the back of the picture are the Ziploc slider bags that have an expandable bottom to help the bag stay upright. I find them perfect for storing and keeping fresh the rolls I bake. The long rectangular Ziploc container had the cookies I baked early that morning. In Hawaii keeping flies out of the kitchen and other critters (like roaches, & geckos) is a year round task due to our climate. I have no worries when my food is packed away in Ziploc! The rest of the stackable containers held our "healthy" leftover mac n cheese, potstickers, vegetable curry, and fish sticks. Here I should probably also mention the stack of Ziploc freezer bags in my freezer and refrigerator that are perfect for dividing up meat and vegetables from Costco. Out of the kitchen, we use Ziploc bags and containers for organizing my daughters' hair stuff, craft stuff, son's trading cards, and bakugan toys, it goes on and on!
I LOVE Ziploc because it is probably the most organized part of my crazy life. It brings convenience to many areas of my life, keeps my freezer and refrigerator clean, and it gets better. I just learned that Ziploc bags are recyclable. I know our local Safeway has recycled plastic grocery bags for years but was unaware that (clean & dry) Ziploc bags can be put in the same receptacle. It makes me feel great to know that big companies like Ziploc are truly making an effort to help save the Earth!
Ziploc sustainability efforts also include:
o Launching Ziploc evolve bags in 2009, which use 25 percent less plastic than the same size regular Ziploc Brand Bags and is partially made with wind energy
o Manufacturing many Ziploc products in Bay City, Mich., using a combination of renewable wind energy and energy from traditional sources
o Partnering with Recyclebank, the leading sustainable action platform that motivates and enables individuals to make a collective impact on the environment, to provide families special incentives to increase recycling, which, in turn, will help keep our country’s landfills from growing. The initiative aims to educate and inspire families to divert more waste from landfills. Check out this video to see how it works: http://www.ziploc.com/Sustainability/pages/Recyclability-and-Earning-Rewards.aspx
o Product recyclability
o Producing containers that can be used multiple times
