Environmental Benefits

Switching to beeswax wraps eliminates approximately 500+ metres of plastic wrap per household annually—a staggering volume of single-use waste. This roll prevents that cycle entirely, with each wrap lasting months through repeated use and washing. Beeswax is a natural byproduct of sustainable honey production, supporting ethical beekeeping practices that benefit pollinator populations. The organic cotton base is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, reducing agricultural runoff and supporting soil health. By eliminating plastic wrap, you reduce petroleum consumption, manufacturing emissions, and landfill burden substantially. The breathable seal prevents food spoilage better than plastic, reducing food waste and associated environmental impact of wasted resources. When finally worn, both beeswax and organic cotton biodegrade completely within months through home composting, returning nutrients to soil. Plastic-free packaging eliminates additional waste. One roll supports circular economy principles while demonstrating that food storage convenience doesn't require environmental compromise. Your kitchen becomes a zero-waste space through simple, natural alternatives that protect both your family and the planet.

Specific Materials Used

Constructed from organic cotton fabric infused with natural beeswax, a sustainable byproduct of honey production. The beeswax coating creates a naturally adhesive, moldable surface that conforms to any shape—bowls, sandwiches, fruits, and leftovers—without synthetic adhesives or plastic components. Organic cotton is cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilisers, supporting biodiversity and soil regeneration. The beeswax infusion is applied through a natural process that preserves the fabric's breathability, allowing food to respire while maintaining freshness. The roll format provides versatility—cut to desired size for any food storage need. Natural beeswax has antimicrobial properties that support food preservation without chemical additives. The fabric weave is tight enough to prevent food contact with external surfaces while remaining flexible and easy to mold. No synthetic dyes, bleach, or chemical finishes are used; the wrap retains its natural colour and hypoallergenic properties. The combination of organic cotton and natural beeswax creates a fully compostable product that biodegrades completely within months. The roll is packaged in plastic-free, recyclable cardboard with no synthetic coatings.

Disposal / End-of-Life Instructions

This wrap is designed for months of repeated use through simple care and maintenance. After each use, wash with cool water and mild soap—avoid hot water, which softens the beeswax coating prematurely. Air dry flat or hang to dry completely before storing. The beeswax coating naturally re-hardens as it cools, restoring moldability. Store in a cool location away from direct heat; excessive warmth can soften the coating. The wrap remains functional for 6-12 months with regular use, depending on frequency and care. To refresh an aging wrap, place it in a low oven (50°C) for a few minutes to re-meld the beeswax coating and restore adhesiveness. When finally worn or the beeswax coating deteriorates, both the organic cotton and beeswax are fully compostable. Add the wrap to your home compost bin or green waste collection—it will biodegrade completely within 2-3 months without leaving residue. Unlike plastic wrap destined for landfills after single use, this wrap prevents hundreds of plastic wraps from entering waste streams over its lifetime. At end of life, it returns nutrients to soil through natural decomposition, supporting circular economy principles.
