About Think4Earth

What is Think4Earth's mission?

Our mission is to make sustainable living easy and accessible. We design and source eco-friendly kitchen products that replace single-use plastics and disposables — made to last, built from recycled or natural materials, and genuinely better for the planet.

Where are your products made?

Our bread saws are handcrafted in Queensland, Australia by a father-and-son team. Our rPET bread bags and baguette bags are made from recycled plastic bottles. Our bannetons are made in Germany to traditional baking standards. Our care oils are produced in Australia using natural ingredients.

Bread Bags

What are your reusable bread bags made from?

We offer two materials: rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) — made from 12 recycled plastic bottles per bag — and certified organic cotton. Both are reusable, washable, and a genuine alternative to single-use plastic bread bags.

Are the bread bags freezer-safe?

Yes. Our rPET bread bags are freezer-safe, fridge-safe, and safe to use on the bench. They're also machine washable, making them easy to clean and reuse again and again.

What sizes do bread bags come in?

We offer a standard bread bag size as well as baguette bags for longer loaves. Both are available in a range of colours.

How do I care for my bread bag?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle and air dry. Do not tumble dry. Our rPET bags are durable and designed to be washed and reused many times over.

Bread Saws

What bread saws do you sell?

We offer two styles: a Tasmanian Oak bread saw with a beautiful timber handle, and an adjustable recycled plastic bread saw made from recycled bottle tops. Both are handcrafted in Queensland by our father-and-son team and feature ultra-sharp blades for perfect homemade bread slices.

Can the bread saw handle different loaf sizes?

Our adjustable recycled plastic bread saw is designed to accommodate different loaf sizes, making it ideal for everything from sandwich loaves to sourdough batards.

Are replacement parts available?

Yes. We stock replacement screws for our adjustable bread saws, so you can keep your saw performing at its best for years.

Bannetons

What is a banneton?

A banneton (also called a proofing basket) is used to support bread dough during its final rise before baking. It helps the dough hold its shape and creates the classic spiral pattern on your loaf. Ours are made in Germany from natural rattan.

Do bannetons come with a cloth liner?

Yes, we offer banneton cloth liners separately for those who prefer a smooth crust without the spiral pattern, or to help prevent sticking with high-hydration doughs.

Bread Boards

What are your bread boards made from?

Our bread boards are handcrafted in Australia from premium timbers including Tasmanian Oak and Camphor Laurel. Each board is finished with natural food-safe oils for a beautiful, durable surface.

How do I care for my bread board?

Hand wash only — do not soak or put in the dishwasher. Dry promptly after washing and apply Gilly's Tung Oil or Liquid Beeswax periodically to nourish the timber and extend its life.

Care Oils

What is Gilly's Tung Oil?

Gilly's Tung Oil is a natural, food-safe oil for conditioning and protecting wooden kitchenware including bread boards, bread saws, and utensils. Regular application keeps timber from drying out and cracking, and brings out its natural beauty.

Is Gilly's Liquid Beeswax food-safe?

Yes. Gilly's Liquid Beeswax is made from natural ingredients and is safe for use on food-contact surfaces.
