As someone who consumes a significant amount of fruits and vegetables, I’m always on the lookout for effective storage solutions. From glass and plastic containers to aluminum foil, I thought I had exhausted my options. That is until I discovered Bee’s Wrap.
Design: Cute and Trendy Prints Bee’s Wrap offers a range of stylish prints that add a touch of trendiness to your packed lunches. I opted for the Honeycomb print, which subtly reflects the beeswax used in the wrap’s materials. The assorted three-pack set I tested came in different sizes, with the smallest size perfect for wrapping half-eaten fruits. The medium and large sizes, measuring 10 x 11 inches and 13 x 14 inches respectively, were ideal for packed lunches. I found the larger wraps to be more versatile, so if you’re considering purchasing only one size, I recommend going for the larger option.
Material: Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Bee’s Wrap is made from organic cotton infused with beeswax, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin, with all materials sustainably sourced. Beeswax is believed to possess antibacterial properties that help keep food fresh. The natural ingredients make Bee’s Wrap 100 percent biodegradable, allowing you to compost the wrap once it reaches the end of its usefulness. It’s a great feeling knowing that you’re reducing landfill waste.
Performance: Some Challenges Shaping the Bee’s Wrap around food items proved challenging. While it worked well with firmer items like apples and oranges, softer items like sandwiches were difficult to wrap without crushing the food. As a result, I had to fold the Bee’s Wrap into a pocket, which was only feasible with the largest wrap size.
Cleaning: Easy Rinse and Reuse One of the selling points of Bee’s Wrap is its reusability. Cleaning is as simple as rinsing the wrap with cool water and dish soap. It’s important to avoid using Bee’s Wrap with heat, such as storing hot food, placing it in the microwave or oven, or washing with warm water. The brand also advises against using it to store raw meat or fish. I found the cleaning process straightforward, and I air-dried the wraps on a drying rack.
Price: Consideration for Occasional Use Bee’s Wrap is priced at $30 for an assorted three-pack, making it more expensive than a single roll of tin foil or plastic wrap. While it may be a more economical and eco-friendly choice for frequent users over the course of a year, occasional users might find the wraps to be less cost-effective, especially considering the challenges in adhering and sealing.
I purchased the Bee’s Wrap on Amazon at price of $30 SGD.
Conclusion: Bee’s Wrap offers an eco-friendly and trendy alternative to single-use plastic food bags. I appreciate its stylish prints and sustainable materials, and I will continue to use it for wrapping fruits and storing fruits and vegetables in the fridge. However, I encountered some challenges when using it to wrap sandwiches, as the wraps didn’t adhere as well as expected, leading to potential leakage and difficulty achieving an airtight seal. While it may be pricier compared to disposable options, I believe the investment is justified for those committed to reducing plastic waste and incorporating Bee’s Wrap into their regular routine.
Bees Wrap and its commitment to sustainability.
I appreciate Bee’s Wrap for its dedication to sustainability throughout the entire production process. They use certified organic fabric and printing, source beeswax from sustainably-managed hives, and rely on organic jojoba oil. I also love that their packaging is made from 100% recycled paper and features a biodegradable cellulose window. Knowing that their products are reusable, biodegradable, and compostable gives me peace of mind. Bee’s Wrap’s commitment to being a Green America certified company and a proud B Corp reflects their dedication to social change and making a positive impact on customers, employees, community, and the planet. It’s a family business that truly cares about leaving a sustainable legacy for future generations.
