Wax Food Wrap Roll
/-
This wax wrap roll is a great cost-effective solution for food storage. Use instead of plastic cling film to wrap food or cover bowls and plates.
Cut to any size that you need, roll is 30cm wide by 150cm long.
To use rub in-between hands to warm and make pliable. Place around food or over dish and the wax wrap will naturally stick to itself (warm with hands again if needed). To clean gently wipe down with cold water and air dry.
Wax wrap should last for over one year, when needed you can re-wax using a wax wrap refresher kit or can be used as a firelighter or composted.
Not to be used in a microwave, oven or dishwasher and avoid hot foods as well as raw meat.

Clingfilm is one of the easiest and most popular to tools for keeping food fresh (the UK uses enough clingfilm yearly to wrap 30 times around the equator) but it poses a number of environmental issues, mainly that it is hard to recycle. Almost all ends up in landfill, incinerators or worse as plastic pollution and can breakdown into microplastics.
Beeswax wraps are a great alternative, being plastic and toxin-free – 100% biodegradable and compostable.
