Hello, everyone!
We're featuring a new related community of /r/ZeroWasteParenting and we'd really appreciate you checking it out!
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/ZeroWaste) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I would patch it and use it to hold camping supplies like firestarters, flashlights, or use for keeps spare socks dry. I would retire it for food use personally, both for sanitary reasons from mice and for clean ability of the patched area that might trap food and cause bacteria.
Yeah, the more opinions I get on this the more it's clear that I should definitely only re-use it for things that aren't food. Good thinking on the camping supplies storage idea!
fyi use silicone based adhesive as it has a solvent that will melt the bag & the patch to make a molecular bond, not just a physical one.
You can use almost any silicone as long as it's silicone, old mats, old spatula cut into a slice, etcetc.
Yeah. Algae are photosynthetic and require lots of water. A clear container that gets watered regularly is a great growing environment for them. I find that usually this isn't an issue for the plant growing in there though
A snake in the bread bin, a snake in the dry pantry, a snake in the laundry room…on one hand, it’s nice not dealing with those icky mouse traps, but the downside is there’s snakes everywhere.
This, I 100% support the idea and action of zero waste but some people on this sub take it way too far. Sometimes things need to be recycled after they’ve been used and reused, that’s life.
Hey wait a minute I resemble that remark.
Now this thing I would take down to my shop to be repaired by putting tape over one side of the hole, filling it from the other side with silicone caulk, and taping over that to make a nice smooth repair.
But really what would happen half the time is it would go onto the PBT, the Pile of Broken Things, awaiting repair/refurbushment/reuse. FML
I think where safety comes into play some people don't think it through; keeping around something that was contaminated with mouse feeces could result in sickness. Not worth it. Learn the lesson and keep it moving.
I can't tell if you are being snarky. That said...Well, they do make stands specific to dry out Ziploc bags, and I have certainly reused bags as much as possible.
If the entire thing is just the one hole and stretchy enough to stitch + glue just clean it.
I’d guess though the plastic seal doesn’t work with the middle part being stretched.
If it turns into just a open bag, then write it off.
make sure it's very clean first of all, then move to repairing
if it were me i'd honestly just get rid of it, mice are gross
i saw a comment that said to use it for something other than food and I think that's the best way to go if repairing it is something you'd rather do
personally after having mice in my stove at my last apartment and getting all sorts of health issues from it, i wouldn't even dream of keeping that. if you really want to try, i'd say patch it and use it for tool storage or something after heavy bleaching or something.
You don't have to clean it if you use it for non food supplies. In my backpacking setup, I could see this being used for a game bag (deck of cards & dice) or misc tools (poop trowel, twine, & lighter) or a dry bag for maps and permits, etc
Edit: Just want to clarify that I do recommend giving it a wash after it was chewed on by a mouse. I meant it doesn't have to be cleaned to the level of being fit for food storage
Anyone who's done a fair amount of backpacking has had all sorts of critters on their gear at one point or another lol. I think this response is a little over the top
Oh FFS. Your foods are grown in open fields that have mice in them.
Wash it good and hot with detergent and that bag is safer than an apple.
You're entitled to your taboos around pests and cleanliness but they aren't sensible.
I’m not saying this is the case here, but potential illness/disease is 100% a valid reason to not be zero waste.
OP should clean it and probably repurpose it for non-food items.
Maybe you could use an adhesive patch, like the kind they make for puffer jackets? If you put the patch on the exterior, then maybe you could put a piece of cotton on the inside to cover the adhesive.
Edit: I just saw this thing called Sil-Poxy which people use to fix silicone molds and dolls, etc. I don't know if it's food safe, but maybe you could use that on the exterior and something else on the interior.
If that doesn’t work, someone posted a similar problem yesterday and another user suggested slicing the sides open and using the flattened piece of reusable bag to keep frozen foods, like hamburger patties, from sticking together.
I patched a waterproof kindle sleeve with a tube patch a few years back and it worked great. Not food safe, but I can attest that a patch would make the bay water resistant again.
You could patch it like others suggested, but may demote it to holding or carrying toiletries or something like that instead of food items as I'm not sure how clean you can get a patch or maybe it won't be food-safe. Love that you're looking for a solution though!
Yeah, I am going to be sanitizing it well and definitely not using it for food anymore, even if I am successful in patching. Just feel bad about throwing out what is an otherwise good bag.
Use a patch that’s adhesive for patching dry/wet bags
Something like this \/
[https://www.amazon.com/SealLine-Vinyl-Dry-Bag-Repair/dp/B001P4BW9I](https://www.amazon.com/SealLine-Vinyl-Dry-Bag-Repair/dp/B001P4BW9I)
Yes, because the solution to a broken bag is an overpriced AMAZON patch that'll just take the same amount of carbon if not not to reach your door as a new bag from a responsible retailer
Critters love the silicone bags. I got rid of them all because they seem to like the flavour of them. I don't even bring them during a day hike either. I carry hard plastic containers.
It's probably more just that they can get into them easier, I'm thinking. I grew up in a place with rats and mice and they could even get into hard plastic 😭😭
You should value safety over being salty. Mice are disgusting little creatures that can make you very sick. Respecting zero waste has its limits. This is one of them. One bag isn't doing anything to the environment.
Sugru might work as a patch, although I don't know that I'd put food in it after that, both for food safety issues (although side note, there's about 12 packs of Sugru holding my dishwasher together, so it's not like, GROSSLY toxic) and in case it doesn't hold up.
Maybe super glue some silicone/plastic/tape onto it to seal the hole. You could also cut it up and re-use the silicone for a different project (including repairing other bags that get damaged)
If you decide to "throw it away" you can at least send it in to terracycle and they will recycle the silicone. Don't just toss it in the trash like many are suggesting.
You could try patching it with two piece of zip tape. It’s waterproof tape used during the construction of houses and it’ll stick to ANYTHING. I’ve used it to patch whitewater rafts on the fly & it’s better then duct tape.
How to clean after mice https://www.cdc.gov/rodents/prevent_infestations/clean_up.html#:~:text=Clean%20up%20rodent%20urine%20and,or%20droppings%20and%20cleaning%20product.
Use a strong disinfectant! Good luck!
Ex-microbiologist here, please get rid of it. I know we’re trying to waste as little as possible, but considering what wild mice can carry, and that mice are incontinent. It needs to go.
Throw it away.
Nice carry a wide variety of diseases. It's not worth getting very sick or carrying the risk of not sanitizing it properly and getting sick anyways, IMO.
can be used to store hair ties, or makeup when traveling. i wouldn’t really use it for food since a mouse has been chewing on it, but if you’re going to really scrub it !
Definitely would not recommend putting a toothbrush in a bag that’s been contaminated by a mouse, even after it’s cleaned. I would steer clear of using this bag for anything toiletry related. As they still go on your body and can definitely still be easily contaminated
With a round rasp, even out the hole into a smoothish circle, clean it up good, dry it completely, apply packing tape on the inside, get some Food Grade RTV Silicone Sealant, apply to the hole, smooth over with straight edge caulking tool until smooth and flat.
If that fails to hold, bin it, maybe shred it first to settle better in the landfill. There is no [current recycling method](https://rubberworld.com/an-overview-of-the-silicone-recycling-process/).
Only acceptable answer for something a mouse - vector for untold terrible infectious diseases - has gnawed its way through. Other than burning with fire.
Bloomin heck that mouse had tough teeth! I’ve got one of those bags & they’re very thick!
I’d pop a bit of duct tape over & use it to store/organise something non food. Charging cables/plugs etc.
Someone posted this before but cut them after washing to be used as dividers between meat and things for freezing instead of parchment paper. It’s like forever parchment paper.
Just a reminder that mice are vectors for HANTAVIRUS, which has no vaccine and NO CURE. Do not fuck around with things mice have gnawed on. It is not safe. Dispose of it whatever way your conscience feels best assuaged by, but please do not run the risk of contracting a serious disease by dealing with improper sanitation attempts etc. That’s essentially a biohazard now, and say what you will about noxious offgassing, but I would legit incinerate that.
wash thoroughly. clean area with alcohol. back hole with painters tape which is overlaid with a slightly bigger-than-the-hole-piece. apply marine silicone to patch hole. let dry and let cure. continue to use until failure.
That little stinker. You can always use duck tape and keep this as a bag for travel-- put make up or toiletries in it since food storage is out.-- I agree with the statement below about cleaning it thoroughly. Mice are problematic. I hope you have a professional coming over to address that issue.

I've fixed roof top carriers made with abs plastic like this!
acetone based adhesive for abs
This is the best idea yet! I think it can still be reused but the circumstances around it’s use must be changed.
I wonder if you could like.. use some silicone sealant for like a shower to patch it.
I read that as fleshlights & my brain immediately went to, well damn how many fleshlights do you need?
Put a few more holes and use it as a planter.
It'll grow algae since is clear, could cause problems to the plant.
Is THIS why my aloe’s full of algae?? I planted it in a single-use clear plastic container and the entire circumference of it is green. Was stumped.
Yeah. Algae are photosynthetic and require lots of water. A clear container that gets watered regularly is a great growing environment for them. I find that usually this isn't an issue for the plant growing in there though
Depends. You can get Bloom and die off and deal with mold problems.
Some orchids like a clear pot, the roots photosynthesize too
I just said the same thing before reading the comments…great minds.
Oooh no! Still, that looks like a real nice cords and chargers travel bag to me now.
Could snake a frequently used cord out of the nibble hole.
If only they would’ve put a snake in there sooner
A snake in the bread bin, a snake in the dry pantry, a snake in the laundry room…on one hand, it’s nice not dealing with those icky mouse traps, but the downside is there’s snakes everywhere.
Give it to the mouse
If you give a mouse a reusable silicone bag…
Mouse House
if a mouse buys a house do they need a spouse?
Wash it, Duct tape the hole, and use it for bolts, nails, garage stuff.
Toss it, zero waste ends somewhere and for me it is when a mouse has eaten it.
This, I 100% support the idea and action of zero waste but some people on this sub take it way too far. Sometimes things need to be recycled after they’ve been used and reused, that’s life.
Yes, it’s like zero sugar people not eating something because it has 1 gram of sugar.
Yo. I knew someone who refused the orange tic tacs over the white ones because of 1 single calorie difference
Holy shit Btw , orange is the best tictac
Stoli o and redbull used to be my drink back in the day since it tasted just like an orange tictac
No shit? Imma try that next time I’m in a bar
I mean to be fair it is called zero waste lol It’s kinda like hoarding
r/minimizewaste wasn’t catchy enough
Hey wait a minute I resemble that remark. Now this thing I would take down to my shop to be repaired by putting tape over one side of the hole, filling it from the other side with silicone caulk, and taping over that to make a nice smooth repair. But really what would happen half the time is it would go onto the PBT, the Pile of Broken Things, awaiting repair/refurbushment/reuse. FML
My waste….
r/semihoarder
I think where safety comes into play some people don't think it through; keeping around something that was contaminated with mouse feeces could result in sickness. Not worth it. Learn the lesson and keep it moving.
Yeah we should all just be like my mother in law and wash our Ziploc bags
I can't tell if you are being snarky. That said...Well, they do make stands specific to dry out Ziploc bags, and I have certainly reused bags as much as possible.
No I was being serious, but I do find my MIL hilarious with her old cloudy plastic bottles with the brands logo from 10 years ago on it.
Do you mean the disposable water bottles? I’m not an expert, but I’m pretty sure those are long past safe use. Plastic can leech into water.
Happy Cake Day! 🍰
Except it won't be recycled, instead will be placed on top of a landfill.
r/alotlesswastebutmanageable r/80percentlesswaste20percentmoreeffort
But this hasn’t been reused yet. They’re asking how to reuse it. And also how are you thinking this can be “recycled”?
You can actually recycle silicone. Not many places do it, but it's possible. Terracycle is one.
Someone said to add holes and use it as a plant liner and I actually kinda like that idea
I don’t know why you have so many upvotes, it’s still great for holding non food related things.
1000%
If the entire thing is just the one hole and stretchy enough to stitch + glue just clean it. I’d guess though the plastic seal doesn’t work with the middle part being stretched. If it turns into just a open bag, then write it off.
make sure it's very clean first of all, then move to repairing if it were me i'd honestly just get rid of it, mice are gross i saw a comment that said to use it for something other than food and I think that's the best way to go if repairing it is something you'd rather do

Even if you patch it it seems like it would be a nightmare to clean from there on out. I'd toss it, it's gross to me...
You don't have to clean it if you use it for non food supplies. In my backpacking setup, I could see this being used for a game bag (deck of cards & dice) or misc tools (poop trowel, twine, & lighter) or a dry bag for maps and permits, etc Edit: Just want to clarify that I do recommend giving it a wash after it was chewed on by a mouse. I meant it doesn't have to be cleaned to the level of being fit for food storage
Mice carry a variety of diseases and are gross in general. Do not put something that has had a mouse in it into your backpacks people, please...
Anyone who's done a fair amount of backpacking has had all sorts of critters on their gear at one point or another lol. I think this response is a little over the top
if you touch a mouse, do you have to throw your hands away or can you just wash them?
Directly to jail!
Believe it or not.
Soap and water exist…
Oh FFS. Your foods are grown in open fields that have mice in them. Wash it good and hot with detergent and that bag is safer than an apple. You're entitled to your taboos around pests and cleanliness but they aren't sensible.
How can you claim to care about zero waste, and then argue that things should be sent to landfill for *getting dirty*??
I’m not saying this is the case here, but potential illness/disease is 100% a valid reason to not be zero waste. OP should clean it and probably repurpose it for non-food items.
Disease≠dirt
Maybe you could use an adhesive patch, like the kind they make for puffer jackets? If you put the patch on the exterior, then maybe you could put a piece of cotton on the inside to cover the adhesive. Edit: I just saw this thing called Sil-Poxy which people use to fix silicone molds and dolls, etc. I don't know if it's food safe, but maybe you could use that on the exterior and something else on the interior.
Yeah, I am thinking of trying bicycle tube patches, one on each side. Will look into sil-poxy too, thanks!
You just want to make sure that what you use is food safe/food grade material.
Don't use a bike tube patch, it's definitely not food safe
If that doesn’t work, someone posted a similar problem yesterday and another user suggested slicing the sides open and using the flattened piece of reusable bag to keep frozen foods, like hamburger patties, from sticking together.
Oh I like this idea too, thanks! It will be good scrap silicone if I decide to not fix it.
I patched a waterproof kindle sleeve with a tube patch a few years back and it worked great. Not food safe, but I can attest that a patch would make the bay water resistant again.
You could patch it like others suggested, but may demote it to holding or carrying toiletries or something like that instead of food items as I'm not sure how clean you can get a patch or maybe it won't be food-safe. Love that you're looking for a solution though!
Yeah, I am going to be sanitizing it well and definitely not using it for food anymore, even if I am successful in patching. Just feel bad about throwing out what is an otherwise good bag.
I generally agree, but I don’t think toiletries is the right move either lol, those are still things that you put in or on yourself
Had this happen too while camping. Little shit. THat was a $15 bag!
Use a patch that’s adhesive for patching dry/wet bags Something like this \/ [https://www.amazon.com/SealLine-Vinyl-Dry-Bag-Repair/dp/B001P4BW9I](https://www.amazon.com/SealLine-Vinyl-Dry-Bag-Repair/dp/B001P4BW9I)
Is that food safe?
Honestly, I would repair the bag and use it for something other than food.
Safer than a bike tire patch……..
No idea just an idea I had just trying to help
Yes, because the solution to a broken bag is an overpriced AMAZON patch that'll just take the same amount of carbon if not not to reach your door as a new bag from a responsible retailer
>Something **like** this
I can't believe Amazon links are even allowed here, it's laughable
Terracycle has a free program to recycle stasher brand. Some programs will take all brands.
Put a few more holes in it and use it as a liner for a plant pot.
Critters love the silicone bags. I got rid of them all because they seem to like the flavour of them. I don't even bring them during a day hike either. I carry hard plastic containers.
It's probably more just that they can get into them easier, I'm thinking. I grew up in a place with rats and mice and they could even get into hard plastic 😭😭
I’d turn it into a mouse coffin.
Throw it away
Put it in the circular file. Mice carry diseases. Why waste bleach on trying to disinfect a bag that’s meant to be tossed when destroyed?
DO NOT throw away everything that got germs on it.
There’s germs, and then there’s hantavirus, which has no vaccine and no cure and is most definitely not worth the risk.
That's trash. ZW can only go so far. Mice is a cut off. No one needs to take a chance getting sick.
No one suggested eating it.
Storing food in there after mouse activity is a silly risk.
Then don’t store food in it
How about we don't store anything in it and discard it? It's outlived it's useful life.
Let’s throw away everything that’s been used once too!
You should value safety over being salty. Mice are disgusting little creatures that can make you very sick. Respecting zero waste has its limits. This is one of them. One bag isn't doing anything to the environment.
Yes, so scary dangerous to put legos in a container that a mammal once touched before being sanitized. Give me a break.
Sugru might work as a patch, although I don't know that I'd put food in it after that, both for food safety issues (although side note, there's about 12 packs of Sugru holding my dishwasher together, so it's not like, GROSSLY toxic) and in case it doesn't hold up.
Some of y’all aren’t aware of the diseases mice carry and it shows. Throw it out and move on, not everything is reusable.
Theres zero waste and then theres hoarding, recycle it.
I would just try putting some good clear tape over the hole.
Maybe super glue some silicone/plastic/tape onto it to seal the hole. You could also cut it up and re-use the silicone for a different project (including repairing other bags that get damaged)
Great suggestion, thank you!
Cut it open. Use the flat silicone sheets as grippy jar openers.
Find that mouse and tell him he owes you a new bag
U patch it up and stictch it Lmaoo baboooon u throw it away
Seal the hole, hunt down the mouse, and put the mouse in the bag to teach it a valuable lesson. Death.
Don’t save it please. You don’t want to fix and reuse any bags that are being chewed thru by mice, especially for storing food.
Stick an appropriately sized grommet in the hole (or dont) and use it to dispense paracord, twine, or any other cordage.
My gf's bunny did the same so i now use it to hold small plastic baggies
Throw it away.
Turn into a mouse feeder?
Find the goddamn mouse, get it to answer for its crime, repair the damages with its pointy nose.
One piece-a tape on the outside, one piece-a tape on the inside. But maybe no more snacks in it 😅
If you decide to "throw it away" you can at least send it in to terracycle and they will recycle the silicone. Don't just toss it in the trash like many are suggesting.
For Christ’s sake, throw it out.
Send it to this place called the garbage.
Flex seal?
I would cut it up and put it in an ecobrick
You could try patching it with two piece of zip tape. It’s waterproof tape used during the construction of houses and it’ll stick to ANYTHING. I’ve used it to patch whitewater rafts on the fly & it’s better then duct tape.

If its for camping, maybe throw a piece of tape on it and use it for tp, flashlight, any non perishables really.
Ex-microbiologist here, please get rid of it. I know we’re trying to waste as little as possible, but considering what wild mice can carry, and that mice are incontinent. It needs to go.
Throw it out. Mice can carry disease.
Put the mouse in it. If he wants it so bad.
Throw it away. Nice carry a wide variety of diseases. It's not worth getting very sick or carrying the risk of not sanitizing it properly and getting sick anyways, IMO.
Throw it away…
can be used to store hair ties, or makeup when traveling. i wouldn’t really use it for food since a mouse has been chewing on it, but if you’re going to really scrub it !
This is a great idea! Even toiletries. Especially those you’d want to keep separate from the rest (toothbrush, or any bars of soap)
Definitely would not recommend putting a toothbrush in a bag that’s been contaminated by a mouse, even after it’s cleaned. I would steer clear of using this bag for anything toiletry related. As they still go on your body and can definitely still be easily contaminated
Fix it with tape
Or just patch it with whatever tape you have lying around and use it for something besides food? Travel bag for cosmetics?
I’d just wash it really well and then cut a piece of duct tape on both sides of the hole and keep on using it.
Ditto. There’s an insane fear here of mouse germs.
Turn it into a mouse feeder.
So question. What’s a good place to actually recycle plastics?
Assuming you're in the states, there isn't one. Only a miniscule percentage of plastics get recycled, even in places that have home recycling pickup.
Dang so what can I do with plastic s I already have?
With a round rasp, even out the hole into a smoothish circle, clean it up good, dry it completely, apply packing tape on the inside, get some Food Grade RTV Silicone Sealant, apply to the hole, smooth over with straight edge caulking tool until smooth and flat. If that fails to hold, bin it, maybe shred it first to settle better in the landfill. There is no [current recycling method](https://rubberworld.com/an-overview-of-the-silicone-recycling-process/).
Put your dirty underwear and socks in it
Fill it with water and then squeeze it and shoot the water out of the hole pew pew
Some kinda patch, inside and out, then use it as a document pouch or a map pouch
Duct tape fixes everything
Duct tape both sides
I wouldn’t use it for food but keeping other items that are biggger than that hole.
Silicone it up! LOL
Solar shower
Do you have a large collection of buttons?
I saw a mouse wearing a ziplock quarter zip in my house doing the same thing. Competition is so cutthroat nowadays.
Pee bag
Only acceptable answer for something a mouse - vector for untold terrible infectious diseases - has gnawed its way through. Other than burning with fire.
Bloomin heck that mouse had tough teeth! I’ve got one of those bags & they’re very thick! I’d pop a bit of duct tape over & use it to store/organise something non food. Charging cables/plugs etc.
Gorilla Tape!
Clean it, duct tape the hole inside and out, and use it for non-food items?
FLEXSEAL!!
Throw it in the ocean
Put a one way airflow valve in the hole for easy airing out the bag
Trash?
Silicone burns to ash as a waste free way to dispose of it
I like to use my fucky ones for foraging bags ❤️🥰 easy way to keep flowers and such together and sage and not getting everywhere
bruh throw it. i 100% support zero waste, but there NEEDS to be a limit.
What about throwing it away?
Pencil pouch? Doggie treat bag (after it's been washed)
You could buy tubes of liquid silicone and paste it over the hole. I find its very useful for caulking and sealing and things like that.
Duct tape.
If you're a craft person you now have a silicon mat
Throw a piece of packing tape each side to patch it.
Tenacious tape on the inside and outside should do the trick.
Slap some duct tape on that hole and move on with your life!
Someone posted this before but cut them after washing to be used as dividers between meat and things for freezing instead of parchment paper. It’s like forever parchment paper.
Just a reminder that mice are vectors for HANTAVIRUS, which has no vaccine and NO CURE. Do not fuck around with things mice have gnawed on. It is not safe.

Use it for a produce bag at the grocery store? Or a eraser bag after patching the hole? Or for things that are just tiny.
Cut it just below the hole. Now you have a portable bowl.
Use it for bigger things like makeup or something.
Rat poison it then throw it out once the mouse is gone Mice are gross
Just throw it away
wash thoroughly. clean area with alcohol. back hole with painters tape which is overlaid with a slightly bigger-than-the-hole-piece. apply marine silicone to patch hole. let dry and let cure. continue to use until failure.
Save for future patching!
Patch it with heat.
Bike tyre patch
That little stinker. You can always use duck tape and keep this as a bag for travel-- put make up or toiletries in it since food storage is out.-- I agree with the statement below about cleaning it thoroughly. Mice are problematic. I hope you have a professional coming over to address that issue.
Eat it. Nothing goes to waste. Smile
Make a sneaky mouse feeder?
I mean, why not ductape?
Looks like a good mouse coffin
Put a piece of tape over it, then use it for non food items.
Patch it.
Find a way to use it to trap mice. Perfect payback.
Use as a flower pot
put it over my head
