About Us
Our Story
Peala was born from a simple observation: our planet deserves better than single-use plastic bags that end up in landfills after just a handful of uses.
We set out to create something that would not only be kinder to our environment but would also be genuinely practical for everyday family life. The result? A reusable silicone food storage bag that opens and closes like a pea pod—hence our name, Peala.
What Makes Us Different
Our bags aren't just sustainable alternatives; they're superior products in their own right.
Made from platinum silicone, Peala bags feature a distinctive thick silicone fastener that peels open and shut with satisfying ease. Unlike flimsy plastic bags with zips that break after a few uses, our robust design is built to last for years.
Our Values
Sustainability at Heart
Each year, an estimated 1-5 trillion plastic bags are created worldwide—that's about 700 for every person on the planet. Yet only 1% are recycled. By choosing Peala, you're making a small but significant change that, collectively, can have an enormous impact.
Family-Friendly Practicality
We understand the daily challenges of family life, which is why we've designed our bags to be genuinely useful in multiple scenarios:
- Storing school lunches
- Freezing leftovers
- Reheating food in the microwave
- Cooking popcorn
- Sous-vide cooking
- Organising non-food items like coloured pencils or makeup
Practical with a Splash of Fun
Life's serious enough—your storage solutions don't need to be! Our bags combine unrivalled functionality with a design that brings a little joy to everyday tasks. They're dishwasher safe, oven safe, and microwave safe, making them infinitely more versatile than their single-use counterparts.
The Material Difference
We've chosen platinum silicone for good reason. This premium material is:
- Heat-resistant for versatile cooking applications
- Non-porous, preventing absorption of odours, stains and bacteria
- Durable enough to withstand years of regular use
- Non-toxic and free from harmful additives found in single-use plastics (no BPA, lead, or phthalates)
Join the Peala Family
Our customers are finding new and creative ways to use our bags every day, from freezing summer fruits to organising travel essentials.
By choosing Peala, you're not just buying a product—you're joining a community that's committed to making small, sustainable changes for a better future.
Our Commitment
We believe that sustainability shouldn't mean compromise. That's why we continue to refine our products based on customer feedback, ensuring that each Peala bag delivers on its promise of being a truly practical, long-lasting alternative to single-use plastic.
Thank you for considering Peala for your home. Together, we can reduce plastic waste one bag at a time.
Who we are
Peala was started by husband and wife Brian and Rhona. When we're not outdoors hiking or surfing we're running around after our two young kids. Packing lunches 5 days a week for creche and school made us realise how much single-use plastic we go through. The test users of Peala were us and our children. After setting up the brand in 2024 we're looking forward to rolling it out in the UK in 2025.
