FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Beeswax wrap is a natural, eco-friendly alternative to plastic wrap used for food storage. It is made by infusing cotton fabric with a mixture of beeswax, resin, and jojoba oil. The combination creates a malleable and reusable wrap that can be used to cover bowls, wrap sandwiches, fruits, vegetables, or bread, and keep food fresh.

The wraps are breathable, which helps to preserve food longer by allowing moisture to escape while keeping out air. Beeswax wraps can be reused multiple times, cleaned with cold water and mild soap, and eventually composted, making them a sustainable choice for reducing single-use plastic in the kitchen.

Wrapping Food:

• Covering      Food Items: Place the wrap over the food or directly wrap the food,      like sandwiches, fruits, vegetables, or bread. Gently press down with your      hands to mold the wrap, using the warmth of your hands to soften the      beeswax and make it stick to itself.
• Sealing      Containers: To cover a bowl or jar, place the wrap over the opening      and press around the edges to form a seal.

Storing Food:

• Store      the wrapped food in the refrigerator or at room temperature, depending on      the type of food. The wrap will hold its shape after cooling down, keeping      the food fresh.

Cleaning:

• After      use, wash the beeswax wrap with cool water and a little mild dish      soap. Avoid hot water, as it may melt the beeswax coating.
• Gently      scrub with a sponge or cloth, then air dry.

Reusing:

• Beeswax      wraps can be reused for up to a year, depending on usage and care. When      they wear out, they can be composted or repurposed.

Reduced Plastic Waste:

• Reusable:      Beeswax wraps can be used for up to a year, significantly reducing the      need for single-use plastic wraps like cling film, which often end up in      landfills or oceans.
• Less      Pollution: By decreasing the consumption of plastic wraps, beeswax      wraps help minimize plastic pollution, which is harmful to wildlife and      ecosystems.

Biodegradable and Compostable:

• Beeswax      wraps are made from natural materials (cotton fabric, beeswax, resin, and      jojoba oil), which means they can be composted at the end of their life      cycle, unlike plastic wraps that take centuries to decompose.

Renewable Resources:

• The      key components—beeswax, cotton, and jojoba oil—are renewable resources,      unlike plastic, which is derived from fossil fuels. This reduces      dependence on petroleum-based products.

Lower Carbon Footprint:

• Producing      beeswax wraps involves less energy and fewer resources compared to      manufacturing plastic wrap, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint.

Support for Sustainable Beekeeping:

• Using      beeswax supports sustainable beekeeping practices, which are crucial for      maintaining healthy bee populations. Bees play a vital role in pollinating      plants and maintaining biodiversity.
• By using beeswax wraps, individuals and businesses can actively reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Beeswax wraps can typically be used for up to 12 monthswith proper care. The longevity depends on how frequently they are used and how well they are maintained.

Avoid uncooked meats, long term freezer use (more than a month), dishwashers, hot food or microwaves. Allow any warm food to cool before being wrapped.

Beeswax wraps are made from food-safe, non-toxic materials, making them a safer option for wrapping children's snacks or lunches.

Small children may need supervision when using beeswax wraps to ensure they do not chew on or ingest pieces of the wrap. Although the materials are natural, they are not intended to be eaten.

Beeswax wraps are simple to use, so older children can easily wrap their own food, helping to promote eco-friendly habits from a young age.
