Good find, but they are a bit big for sandwiches (and I'd rather use something made from renewable materials)

is there a site like that in the US?
hmph

I'd love to use wax paper bags but you can't buy them anywhere round me that I've found (and I recall a few years ago when I did find some they outrageously expensive)
Lindsay
Must get their paper bags from somwhere, have you tried a cash and carry?

Use aluminum foil. You can recycle it.

what's wrong with a sealable sandwich box?

Bidegradable is a marketing term. Most people don't realise that it only works if you compost it, if it goes into landfill the environment means it will be there for decades.

How about going into you're local greengrocer and asking if you can buy a pile of brown paper bags from them? Ok they're not waxed but they should do the job as long as you dont have a particularly wet sandwich.
