Eco-friendly, too, the bags are lunch box-ready, and can go from the pantry into the freezer, microwave, or dishwasher without worry. Is there anything this mighty bag can’t do? Well, it won’t break down like plastic does—or get tossed away.

It works with 12-, 16-, and 20-ounce-sized to-go coffee cups, making a leak-tight seal that tamps down on spills and knock-overs. This flexible lid comes with a quick-dry bag for easy transport.
