PRODUCT
Durbl bags were designed to be used again and again. They’re the only reusable storage bags made with a single piece of 100% food-grade platinum silicone -- no glues or chemicals are used to keep them together.
We’re a US based company located in Springfield, New Jersey on a mission to eliminate ONE BILLION plastic baggies from harming the environment.
This is a great and important question.
No, we are not a foreign firm looking to make a quick dollar selling a product online. We’re here to inspire others to make health conscious decisions not only for themselves, but for the earth too.
The durbl bags are manufactured responsibly in China. The team that manufacturers our bags has been vetted and are experts when it comes to responsibly producing silicone-based products. There are no glues or chemicals in our products. The durbl bag is constructed from a single-piece of platinum food-grade silicone.
I personally inspect each bag before it goes out for its quality and the mantra we go by is if we wouldn’t use them ourselves then we don’t sell them.
Hope this answers your question!
They are double sealed designs, please press hard multiple times to close the bag. As long as the top of the bag has been sealed properly, we are extremely confident in our bags being leakproof.
There are different designs for the bottom and opening.
Botton: The standing design has been improved to a standing and folding, which not only meets uses but also allows for folding and reduces storage space.
Opening: Curved opening design, larger opening for convenient storage of larger items.
Hope you enjoy new bags!
MATERIALS & SOURCING
Silicone is a synthetic material made from a combination of silica (sand) and oxygen. It is commonly used in various applications such as houseware, sealants, and medical devices. One of the key advantages of silicone is its ability to withstand high temperatures without undergoing any physical changes or releasing harmful substances.
Durbl reusables are crafted using premium food-grade silicone, which is renowned for its exceptional quality and approved for food use by the FDA. It also meets the rigorous food safety standards set by the EU. Our silicone products are carefully cured to ensure stability and versatility, allowing them to be safely used in the oven (up to 425°F), freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. Moreover, we prioritize safety by ensuring that our products are free from lead, latex, BPA, BPS, or any other phthalates. To learn more about silicone and its properties, you can find additional information here.
The convenience of single-use plastics comes at a significant environmental cost, as plastic has emerged as one of the largest threats to our planet. From its production, which relies on fossil fuels, to its poor recycling rates (only 9% of plastic is recycled), plastic pollution continues to accumulate in landfills and waterways, taking hundreds of years to decompose. In fact, it is estimated that by the middle of this century, our oceans will contain more plastic waste than fish, creating an urgent need for change.
The good news is that a global movement to combat single-use plastics is gaining momentum, with billions of plastic bags and containers being replaced by reusable alternatives. At the forefront of this movement are our functional and durable products, designed to inspire everyone to embrace reusable options.
So, why should you choose platinum food-grade silicone for the ultimate reusable solution? The answer lies in its benefits for both you and the environment. Silicone is renowned for its exceptional durability while remaining lightweight. It can withstand a wide range of temperatures, from freezing to microwave, oven, and dishwasher use, without leaching harmful chemicals.
Durability: Food-grade silicone is highly resilient, ensuring your reusable products will withstand everyday use and last for a long time.
Lightweight: Despite its strength, silicone remains lightweight, making it easy to carry and transport.
Versatility: Silicone products can safely transition from the freezer to the microwave, oven, and dishwasher, providing convenient usage options.
Chemical-Free: Unlike plastic, silicone does not release harmful chemicals or toxins into your food or the environment.
Environmentally Friendly: By opting for silicone over single-use plastic, you actively contribute to reducing plastic waste and its detrimental impact on land and marine ecosystems.
By choosing food-grade silicone, you make a conscious decision to prioritize sustainability and protect our planet. Together, we can make a positive impact and create a cleaner, healthier future.
