The Vegan Wax Wrap Co (beeswax alternatives)

The Vegan Wax Wrap Co (made in the heart of England’s beautiful Cotswolds) makes lovely alternatives to beeswax food wraps. These are made from certified organic cotton in a range of sizes, sent in sustainable packaging. All are made by hand, blending jojoba oil with pine resin and plant waxes (pine, sumac, sunflower and rice brand) with hydrogenated castor oil.

Ideal for sandwiches, each wrap wrap should last up to a year, and is easily cleaned and reused. At end of life, just bin or chop into strips and compost.

To clean wax food wraps, use warm water and a little biodegradable dishwash. Every three months, refresh wax between two sheets of parchment paper and gently iron.

Not for nut allergies. Due to flammable tree resin, keep away from heat (microwaves, dishwasher, ignitions, ovens). And pets, due to pine wax. Do not use for meat/fish, as they cannot be washed to kill bacteria. 

By using the warmth of your hands to soften the wax to seal food. The wraps are then ‘sticky’ to cling to say bowls. To use, just hold the wrap in place for a few seconds, and as the wax cools, it forms a protective breathable layer, the natural materials help prevente moisture build-up.

Why choose vegan wax food wraps?

Clingfilm is awful (and removing PVC means it doesn’t even stick well anymore) is made from single-use plastic that can’t be recycled in most cases (it causes ‘nurdles’ on factory floors when if washed to sea look like fish food, so get eaten by marine creatures).

Disposable sandwich bags are also expensive and leach plastic into your food. So why not invest in a good alternative to plastic wrap instead?
