Each year, the global production of plastic packaging amounts to 114 million tonnes a year. Roughly, around one-third of all plastic packaging that enters the global market ends up leaking from collection systems, leading to environmental pollution. In addition to that, plastic production, use and disposal contributes to about 1.8 billion tonnes of carbon emissions annually. With that in mind, another eco-friendly solution that we came up with is beeswax wraps. Beeswax wraps offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to plastic wraps for food storage. Created from cotton fabric infused with a blend of beeswax and coconut oil, the wraps are flexible and easily mold around food or containers to create a seal. They are reusable, biodegradable and provide a natural way to preserve food, prolonging its freshness.
