Beeswax Wrap | 30x30 cm | Striped Navy Blue | GOTS Certified Cotton | Pure Beeswax | Made in Austria

Beeswax wraps are practical all-rounders that help you avoid plastic wrap and single-use plastic in everyday life.

With our beeswax wrap, you can confidently do without plastic in everyday life: whether covering bowls or containers in the refrigerator, wrapping cut fruit and vegetables, packing a sandwich, or freezing cakes and herbs in it – our beeswax wrap is highly versatile! You not only avoid a lot of single-use plastic, but also give your food a longer life: because when wrapped in beeswax, it stays fresh much longer!
The impregnated cotton cloth is handmade regionally in Austria – from certified organic beeswax, regionally produced tree resin, GOTS-certified cotton, and organic sunflower oil.

You can fold, bend, crumple, or knead our beeswax wrap. The warmth of your hands makes it pliable, so it naturally adheres to plates, bowls, or to itself.

Care

Simply rinse the wax cloth under cold or, at most, lukewarm water after use, or wipe it with a damp cloth.

The cloths can also tolerate a little dishwashing liquid here and there, but for better and more sustainable disinfection, use a splash of table vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

After drying, either use it again immediately or, preferably, roll it up and keep it within easy reach in a container or in a drawer until the next use. Rolling it up helps extend its lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is wax cloth suitable for food? - Yes, absolutely! Beeswax wraps are natural alternatives to aluminum foil and plastic wrap. What's more, they contain no harmful microplastics. However, even with beeswax wraps, the quality of the ingredients matters: Make sure that the cloths are produced regionally and that only certified organic ingredients are used. After all, only safe products should come into contact with your food!

How long do beeswax wraps last? - The lifespan of beeswax wraps depends slightly on how they are used. On average, you can use them for 1-2 years. If you mainly use them to cover bowls and containers, the cloths will last longer than if you regularly wrap food in them. If you feel that your wrap could use a little refreshing, you can give it new life with a DIY wax. How hygienic are beeswax wraps?

How hygienic are beeswax wraps? - When used and cared for properly, beeswax wraps are just as hygienic as any other type of packaging. What's more, beeswax has antibacterial properties and is therefore naturally suitable for wrapping food! Caution is advised solely with meat, fish, and cold cuts: Since beeswax wraps can only be cleaned with cold or lukewarm water, it cannot be ruled out that bacteria may still be present on the cloth after washing. Therefore, it is better to use other packaging options for these.

For what purpose are beeswax wraps suitable? - Beeswax wraps are a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to aluminum foil and plastic wrap. They are highly versatile in everyday life: You can use them to cover bowls and containers in the refrigerator, wrap cut fruit and vegetables, pack a sandwich, or even freeze cakes and herbs in them. These are just a few examples of the versatility of beeswax wraps.

Our insider tip: We also use beeswax wraps to carry a damp washcloth for sticky children's fingers! An environmentally friendly alternative to single-use wet wipes.

If your beeswax wrap one day smells strange or changes color, it is time for a new chapter: dispose of it in the compost or cut it up and crumple it. This way, it can still serve you well as a charcoal starter for the barbecue.
