10 Ways to Make the Most of Your Beeswax Wraps

Have trouble using your beeswax wraps effectively?

In the kitchen, Superwrap's upcycled beeswax wraps are an eco-friendly and waste-free alternative to plastic wrap, but that's not all!

With beeswax wraps becoming an increasingly important part of an eco-friendly lifestyle, we've found lots of uses for them.

So, here are 10 brilliant tips for making the most of your reusable beeswax wraps in the kitchen and on the go!

1. Keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer by preserving them.

Besides being bad for the environment, plastic food wrap also fails to seal and adhere to sliced fruits and vegetables. Beeswax wraps, on the other hand, are great for food; naturally tacky and mendable, they’ll hug the shape of your fruits and vegetables and will seal it, which keeps it fresher for longer.

 

2. Fold Your Wrap Into a Box to Hold Snacks

Beeswax wraps can also be easily folded into a container for snacks like nuts, seeds, and berries. Just scrunch the flexible wrap gently around your snack if you need something quick and easy to keep them from rolling away, or bust out your origami skills and make a handy container to keep in the fridge.

3. Fold Your Wrap Into a Snack Pouch for On-the-Go Use

Beeswax wraps also make neat on-the-go containers. Fold them into a little pouch or pocket for some pretzels to snack on, or seal away those treats for snacking on the go!

4. Wrap around soap bars or shampoo pumps when traveling.

Store them in our reusable and upcycled beeswax wrap instead of a messy plastic bag.  No spills can ruin your luggage or backpack, and you won't have to worry about taking up a lot of space. You will want to be careful not to get your soap too sudsy so that the beeswax wraps stick to themselves and keep everything firmly sealed.

5. Protect Your Utensils

If you’ve packed your silverware to cut down on using plastic cutlery, you can wrap up your utensils to keep them clean and ready to use when traveling, then after use, wrap the dirty spoon and fork to keep your bag clean until they can be washed later at home.

6. Cover Bowls, Jars, or Glasses with Beeswax Wrap

Whether you have fermenting jars in the pantry or things in the fridge, beeswax wraps will keep them safe.
Be sure to use larger wrap to seal down the sides in case the contents build up pressure.

7. Roll into Zero-Waste Drinking Straws

Have you tried rolling up a small wax wrap to sip your juice or smoothie instead of using a plastic straw? They may not be perfectly designed for the task, but unlike other types of reusable straws, beeswax wraps are way easier to clean. Just unroll and wash them in water and eco-friendly dish soap.

8. Wrap Loaves of Bread From The Bakery

Bring your beeswax wraps from home for wrapping up those delicious baked goods. It's way better for the environment than a single-use bag.

9. A Sustainable Way to Wrap Up Flower Bouquets

With beeswax wraps, your food container stays in place and spills can be cleaned up easily. They stick and seal to surfaces and create a waterproof bottom in any container. When it’s time to tidy up, just peel away and wash.
