Instead of
Cling film Beeswax wraps
Why switch
Healthier
No plasticisers migrating into warm, fatty leftovers.
Greener
A wrap you wash and reuse for ~a year instead of metres of single-use film.
The impact
You, per year 4 rolls of film
All of the world 32.4 billion rolls of film skipped / year
If everyone across the world switched, every year that’s:
- 32.4 billion rolls of film
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Reduce
Cover a bowl with a plate, or a wrap you already own, before tearing new film.
Reuse
Rinse in cool water and reuse the same wrap for many months.
Recycle
At end of life it composts (cotton + wax). Cling film never does.
