      I don’t throw away the plastic bag, because I don’t have the plastic bag. Because the bread I bought was in a paper bag.

      I you live in a country where you don’t get bread in paper bags and you want to avoid plastic waste, you can put the bread in a cotton bag in the store, which you can wash and reuse.

          Were I buy bread it is on a rack, and you use tongs to put it into a paper bag. You can also put it into a slicer first and then in the bag, but I rather slice it myself at home.

          Or I buy it a a bakery, where some employee packs it for me, you can ask them to put it into your cotton bag, if they only have plastic bags.

          I don’t buy prepackaged bread.
