Looking for wrapping material for this Christmas? How about opting for eco-friendly WaxWrap, which is reusable for up to 200 times with proper, careful use?
It's great for keeping food fresher for longer after festive feasting. So it's kinder for our planet and kinder for your wallet, too.
It's a nifty, great alternative to single-use plastic cling-film which allows food to breathe the way nature intended it to.
It's ideal for wrapping everything from sandwiches to snacks to fruit and keeping leftovers fresh in the fridge, even good for saving wine, too.
It’s sustainable, reusable and at the end of it’s long and happy life it is completely compostable. It's available in bags, wraps and unique roll format - the UK’s Which! report in March 2021 found that beeswax wraps outperformed cling film in keeping an apple fresh, keeping the apple more moist and less brown by up to five more days; they fared better in preventing the bread in sandwiches from becoming soggy and were just as effective as cling film in wrapping up food which has a strong odour, like Stilton cheese.
WaxWrap comes on a waxed cotton food roll, which increases freshness and reduces waste, so you can do your bit for the planet and ditch cling film from your life.
It's comparable to traditional clingfilm, but it performs as well as clingfilm, but can be even better, too.
It's also Vegetarian Society-approved and WaxWrap contains organic certified ingredients and the production process behind these wonderous wraps meets rigorous environmental and social standards, making them a safe and responsible choice for the home.
Besides which, in contrast to cling film, WaxWrap is made from merely four natural materials: organic cotton, organic Jojoba oil, pine resin and beeswax, allowing food to breathe naturally.
It's also incredibly malleable, thick and rigid enough to take form around the most unusual shapes whilst still creating a secure seal, won’t leach toxins into food and drink, is totally re-useable and suitable for the safe storage of a wide range of foods.
It's good for your housekeeping budget, saving you money in the long-term. It's safer and won’t pollute the oceans, kill marine animals and birds or enter the food chain, either.
Easy to use (no more fiddling with flimsy clingfilm!) – and easy on the eye thanks to the selection of bright, nifty designs and is a positive step towards leading a Zero-Waste lifestyle
Using it on a roll? Just cut the wrap to the desired size and shape, then use it to top bowls and plates of leftovers, or for wrapping odd-shaped items.
WaxWrap bags are the ideal partner for packed lunches and picnics, plus storing salad leaves, fresh herbs and vegetables, whilst the pre-cut sheets remain a firm favourite for super speedy food storage.
Once used, WaxWrap can simply be cleaned by washing with cold water and a bit of eco-friendly washing up liquid, then patted dry with a clean towel.
They can be washed over and over and if used correctly, should be around serving you well for around a year (or about 200 times).
Besides which, when the wrap comes to the end of its long and happy life, it’s completely compostable. And if you have a log burner you can even use it as an eco-firelighter.
