The Anova [Precision](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/okapa) Reusable Silicone bags are suitable for sous-vide cooking, as well as reheating and storing leftovers or preparing store-bought meals. Thanks to the airtight seal it provides, the silicone bag can be rolled to close and used to withstand a wide range of temperatures from -40 degrees Fahrenheit up to 446 degrees Fahrenheit. The sustainable half-gallon bag is also dishwasher-safe, which makes it as easy to clean as it is to use, again and again. Going forward, Anova CEO and co-founder Steve Svajian says, "Our goal is to have a fully recyclable or compostable vacuum sealer bag available by 2022. However, we didn't want to wait to start reducing our plastic footprint." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Kitchenware:** Develop sustainable and reusable kitchenware to replace single-use plastic items such as sous-vide bags. - **Alternative Food Preservation Methods:** Invest in new, sustainable methods for preparing and storing food, such as silicone bags for sous-vide cooking. - **Eco-friendly Product Lines:** Create product lines that prioritize eco-friendliness and sustainability, like Anova's Precision Reusable Silicone Bags. ### Who This Affects Most - **Kitchenware:** The kitchenware industry can use sustainable materials to create environmentally conscious products like Anova's sous-vide bags. - **Food Storage:** Develop sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic bags and containers for food storage and preservation. - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** Invest in eco-friendly and sustainable packaging materials to reduce the plastic footprint of food storage and cooking products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reusable Storage Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-storage-bag.md) - [Water-Free Sous Vide Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sous-vide-cooker.md) - [Reusable Malleable Food Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-seal-tray.md) - [Durable Food Storage Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziploc-endurables.md) - [Food Vacuum Sealers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacuum-sealer-pro.md) - [Reusable Produce Seals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-huggers-1.md) - [Resealable Lettuce Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensei-farms.md) - [Tech-Enabled Reusable Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caulicups.md) - [Eco Reusable Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anew.md)
