But there are easy ways to reduce our plastic consumption! From reusable straws and eco-friendly oral care to reusable paper towels and food storage bags , there are a ton of options to swap out your single-use must-haves for more sustainable alternatives.
The latest and greatest way to give your daily tasks a greener revamp is with beeswax and reusable food wraps. These products are made from sustainable materials like natural beeswax, linen, and silicone. You can get 'em dirty, wash 'em off, and reuse 'em to your heart's content — all without wasting any dastardly single-use plastics.

Absolutely! Beeswax wraps can be reused again and again and again…you get the idea. While there's no exact number, you can typically get around 100 uses per year from your beeswax wraps. That's 100 sheets of plastic wrap that aren't ending up in the landfill! In fact, four sheets of beeswax wraps are equivalent to about four boxes of plastic wrap. The best part is that you can find beeswax wraps in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to fit whatever you've got — big mixing bowls? Check. Cheese? You bet. A handful of cherry tomatoes? Yep!
To use beeswax wraps, simply crumple the wrap in your hands to warm up the wax. Flatten the sheet out then cover your bowls, jars, tupperware, or sandwiches with the wrap. Once the wrap has cooled down, it'll hold its shape around your goodies.
Made a mess on your food wraps? No worries! Whether your wraps are covered in mayo, molten cheese, or meatloaf, cleaning them off is super simple. For beeswax wraps, all you've gotta do is run the wrap under cool water and gently scrub it with a natural dish soap. If food is really stuck to the wrap, use warm water to clean it off — just avoid putting your beeswax wraps in the dishwasher or exposing them to hot water, which can melt the wax. Once the wrap is clean, wipe it with a cloth until it's dry. Done!
Silicone wraps can be hand-washed under warm or hot water with a little dish soap. Some silicone wraps are dishwasher safe, but it's best to check the care label on your brand of wraps before you toss them in a dishwasher.
Beeswax wraps can last up to a year, depending on how much heavy labor they endure. To keep your beeswax wraps around for a while, only wash them under cool or warm water and always use a natural dish soap. Don't stick beeswax wraps in the oven or the microwave as the extreme heat could melt off the wax and render the wrap unusable.
You'll know your beeswax wrap has reached the end of its life when it stops sticking to itself. Time for a new pack of wraps! But instead of trashing your old wraps, you can cut them into strips and throw them in your compost bin. Beeswax wraps are made from cotton covered in beeswax, so they're biodegradable and safe for your compost pile.
