How to Make Reusable Beeswax Wraps
by Melissa J. Will
Complete instructions for making beeswax food wraps for food storage that avoids plastic waste.
If you are looking for a sustainable alternative to disposable, single-use plastic cling wraps, buying or making some beeswax wraps may be the solution.
The natural properties of beeswax—water repellent, antimicrobial, and everlasting (it never goes bad)—make it an excellent choice for this project.
The beeswax, along with a few other natural ingredients (pine resin and a plant-based oil) are melted together and brushed on pieces of fabric to form a long-lasting coating with natural cling, making it just right for wrapping food items or covering food storage containers.
With plastic pollution at epic levels and few solutions in sight, many of us feel it is worth the effort to change our habits where we can, moving toward more sustainable options.
These wraps are not going to save the world or suddenly reverse pollution problems, but they are one small way to put the brakes on daily waste in favor of long-lasting alternatives.
