Home-compostable ziptop freezer bags arrive at Albertsons Companies banners nationwide this September, expanding Lunchskins’ retail footprint.
POTOMAC, MD, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Lunchskins, the sustainable food-storage brand known for its recyclable paper sandwich and snack bags, today announced two major retail launches: new home-compostable ziptop freezer bags arriving at Albertsons Companies banners nationwide and home-compostable cling wrap now available at Sprouts Farmers Market. Both new products are designed to meet the needs of busy lunch-packing families heading into the back-to-school season, as well as eco-conscious consumers seeking simple ways to eliminate single-use plastic waste from their daily routines.
At Albertsons, the new ziptop freezer bags will be sold alongside Lunchskins’ established recyclable paper sandwich-bag line, including the brand’s best-selling Apple print. The launch expands Lunchskins beyond its original paper-bag category and gives shoppers a home-compostable alternative to conventional plastic food storage bags.
At Sprouts Farmers Market, Lunchskins’ new home-compostable cling wrap marks the brand’s first entry into the food-wrap category and further expands its growing portfolio of sustainable food-storage products.
Together, the launches represent a significant expansion for a brand that has spent more than a decade working to make sustainable food storage practical and affordable for everyday families.
“Long before recyclable or compostable food-storage bags became a trending category, Lunchskins was developing affordable, everyday solutions for families,” said Kirsten Quigley, founder and CEO of Lunchskins. “As interest in reusable, recyclable and compostable alternatives continues to grow, we remain focused on making sustainable choices accessible—not premium.”
Accessible Pricing, Not Premium Pricing
Lunchskins has focused on making high-quality products at an affordable price for more than a decade. The company believes families should not have to pay a luxury price to make a more sustainable choice—a philosophy it is now extending to compostable ziptop freezer bags and cling wrap.
While newer entrants are positioning recyclable and compostable food-storage products as premium purchases, Lunchskins has spent more than a decade demonstrating that sustainable alternatives can be offered at everyday prices and meet the needs of families everywhere.
“We did not wait for compostable and recyclable food storage to become a trend before we started building it,” said Shannon Peters, COO of Lunchskins. “We did it first, and we did it at under $5. Now we are bringing that same approach to new formats and major retailers without changing what got us here.”
Two Retailers, One Broader Sustainability Push
The Albertsons rollout during the busy back-to-school season brings Lunchskins’ home-compostable ziptop freezer bags to shoppers nationwide, pairing the new product with the recyclable paper sandwich bags that helped establish the brand more than a decade ago.
At the same time, the Sprouts launch gives Lunchskins its first national retail presence in the cling-wrap category and introduces shoppers to a home-compostable alternative to conventional plastic food wrap.
The two launches broaden the company’s presence across three core food-storage formats: recyclable paper bags, compostable ziptop bags and compostable cling wrap.
Availability
Lunchskins’ home-compostable ziptop freezer bags and recyclable paper sandwich bags, including the Apple print, will be available beginning in September 2026 at Albertsons Companies banners nationwide.
Lunchskins’ home-compostable cling wrap and ziptop freezer bags are now available at Sprouts Farmers Market locations.
Industry Recognition
Lunchskins’ newest products have already earned recognition from both grocery and consumer-product industry leaders. The company’s Home Compostable Gallon Food Storage Bag was selected as a 2026 Progressive Grocer Editors’ Pick Best New Product, while its Home Compostable Food Cling Wrap received the 2026 Mindful Award for Kitchen Product of the Year.
