In grocery stores in many parts of the US at least, it is extremely hard not to find bread in plastic bags. Even the one of 3 near me that has its own bakery puts the bread in a plastic bag, and then in another bag that is paper with a plastic “window”, and the paper part has a PE wax lining for god knows what reason.
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.
Isn’t all of it evil, because they bought bread in a plastic bag? Use a paper bag. And if the bread gets hard, steam it, bake it, and its fresh again.

Well, you can always bring your own cotton bag…
To what put the bread in after you throw away the plastic bag?

You understand that the bread is in the bag already right?

I don’t buy prepackaged bread.
In America its pretty much only pre packaged bread its essentially not an option to just get it off a shelf
