Bee's Wrap
Up in the Green Mountains of Vermont, one mother searched for a plastic-free way to store her farm fresh food and reduce her family's waste. In 2012, Sarah Kaeck created the sustainable food storage every household needs, Bee's Wrap! Kaeck was inspired by her family, her love for cooking, the produce grown in her own farm, and the need for items with minimal impact on the environment. By bringing back an old tradition of wrapping food with beeswax cloths, Kaeck has upgraded sustainability within the kitchen. Her technique is simple, yet effective. By using a combination of GOTS-certified organic cotton, sustainably sourced US beeswax, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin, Bee's Wrap has created a new way to wrap, store, and transport food without the need for plastic. Unlike harmful plastic wrap, Bee's Wrap can be reused for up to a year. Finally, food storage that's both easy and eco-friendly!
Kaeck, who once was a stay at home mom, now runs the small business in Middlebury, Vermont. When Bee's Wrap first began, it was run by a Vermont team of five women who would hand-paint each wrap with beeswax. Now, Kaeck employs a growing team of locals to help run, operate, and spread the word of sustainable food storage.

Bee's Wrap
We love Bee's Wrap as an alternative to disposable plastic food storage! Did you know that the average American uses and throws away up to ten rolls of plastic wrap each year? Bee's Wrap helps eco-conscious homes make a healthier choice for our planet by reducing their plastic waste.
Not only is Bee's Wrap a great alternative to plastic, they also go above and beyond by using sustainable materials for their product and packaging. Bee's Wrap uses Global Organic Textile Standards Certified organic cotton, beeswax sourced from sustainable US beehives, and organic jojoba oil. Traces of chemicals such as PVC and BPA have been found in food being stored with plastic wrap — so what better way to store your food than with organic and non-toxic ingredients? Bee's Wrap is committed to improving both the health of our planet, as well as the health of our families.
In addition to creating a sustainable product, all Bee's Wrap packaging is plastic free and recyclable. Plus, when you're done using your Bee's Wrap, simply cut it up into pieces and compost it. (Psst. It also works as natural fire kindling!) Bee's Wrap is also Green America Certified, meaning their product helps to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society.
