The break

Reframed a disposable commodity (plastic bags) as a durable, eco-conscious lifestyle essential.

About Stasher

Stasher, founded in the United States in 2016, makes reusable silicone food storage bags in jewel-toned colors, designed to replace disposable plastic zip-top bags in the kitchen.

Why it’s a challenger

Food storage has long assumed that convenience means disposable. Stasher turned the throwaway plastic bag into a durable, eco-conscious design object, attractive enough that people display it on open kitchen shelves. In 2019 the San Francisco Business Times named it the fastest-growing company in the Bay Area.

This brand is in the Rival 50 2026 list. The report’s deep dives cover 14 of the top 20.

Reviewers’ view

Reviewers credited Stasher with a fresh, environmentally minded concept that makes reusability satisfying, a product that genuinely looks great, and a website that puts real reviews and real people front and center.
