In today's world, we're constantly looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact and live more sustainably. One simple yet effective solution that's been gaining popularity is the use of beeswax food wraps.
But what exactly are beeswax wraps, and how can they benefit you and the planet?
What are Superwrap’s Beeswax Wraps?
Our beeswax wraps are a reusable, biodegradable alternative to traditional single-use plastic wrap or aluminum foil. They are made by coating 100% cotton fabric, upcycled from textile waste, with a mixture of beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin.
This creates a pliable, malleable material that can be used to wrap and cover various food items, from cheese and produce to baked goods and leftovers.

The Key Ingredients
The primary ingredient in our beeswax wraps is, of course, beeswax. This natural substance is produced by honeybees and has a variety of useful properties. Beeswax is naturally antibacterial, water-resistant, and pliable, making it an ideal material for food storage.
In addition to beeswax, the key ingredients in our beeswax wraps include 100% cotton fabric upcycled from textile waste, jojoba oil, and tree resin.
The upcycled cotton fabric provides a sturdy, natural base, while the jojoba oil helps to improve the flexibility and durability of the wraps. The tree resin, on the other hand, increases the adhesive and waterproof qualities of the beeswax wraps.
The Purpose of Beeswax Wraps
Beeswax wraps serve several important purposes:
- Sustainability: By providing a reusable alternative to single-use plastics, beeswax wraps help reduce waste and lessen our reliance on non-biodegradable materials. The use of upcycled cotton fabric further enhances their sustainability.
- Food preservation: The beeswax coating helps to seal in freshness and lock out air, keeping food fresh for longer periods of time.
- Versatility: Beeswax wraps can be used to cover a wide variety of food items, from fruits and vegetables to breads and cheeses. They can even be molded around containers or bowls to create a tight seal.
- Healthier food storage: Unlike plastic wrap, beeswax wraps do not contain any harmful chemicals or plasticizers that can leach into food.
