Frequently Asked Questions

What is a beeswax wrap and how does it work?

A beeswax wrap is a reusable food wrap made from fabric coated in a blend of beeswax, tree resin and plant oil. The warmth of your hands softens the wrap enough to mould around food or bowls, where it then sets to hold its shape. It replaces cling film for most everyday food storage purposes and lasts up to a year with proper care.

Are beeswax wraps suitable for all foods?

Beeswax wraps work well for covering bowls, wrapping cheese, bread, fruit and vegetables, and storing snacks. They should not be used with raw meat, fish or very hot food, and cannot be used in the microwave or dishwasher. Wash in cool water only with mild soap.

What does FSC certified mean on paper products?

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification means the wood or paper product comes from forests managed to standards covering environmental impact, biodiversity, and the rights of workers and local communities. It provides independent assurance of responsible sourcing.

How should I care for beeswax wraps?

Wash in cool water with mild soap and air dry. Avoid hot water, which melts the wax, and keep away from the dishwasher, microwave and direct heat. Stored flat or rolled in a cool drawer, they typically last around a year before needing replacement.

Are reusable produce bags actually better for the environment?

Reusable produce bags need to be used a meaningful number of times to offset their production impact compared to a single plastic bag, which varies by material. Cotton bags have a higher production footprint than plastic per unit but become better value environmentally from around fifty uses, which is easily achievable across a year of grocery shopping.
