Bees Wax Wraps

Biodegradable

It this stuff really a substitute for cling film? Just from looking at it, it's hard to know if it hard to know if it actually 'clings'! After wrapping it, would you need an elastic band to hold it together?

Not really, its slightly sticky. It's much thicker than cling film, more like a sort of waxxy parchment paper. But it works well, id recommend it.

So does dirt stick to it?

And would you need some sort of band to tie it together?

I was interested in using this until I saw the price. I'm afraid my purse can't stretch that far!

It's great stuff, I bought a couple of packs for wrapping rolls and sandwiches and it really does a good job.

Yes they are expensive but will save money in the long run or you can make your own with some cotton, greaseproof paper, beeswax and an iron.

They are washable (soap and cool water does the trick and I hang them to dry) and can be used to wrap foods or as bowl covers. Very environmentally friendly, saves on using plastic or foil plus it's compostable at its end of life.

Pinch or rub to seal with your hands (heat from hands slightly warms the wax and creates a seal/closes wrap), no ties or elastics needed.

These are really easy to make yourself... they are expensive to buy, but quite cheap to make at home. Beeswax ( obv), use pellets , jojoba oil and to make it more pliable, resin. All bought at health food shop. We've used old clean cotton and over time if they lose the stickiness, just reapply. Beeswax is antibacterial
