Beeswax Food Wrap

CLEAN & SAFE

Wrapping produce, covering bowls, and replacing cling wrap

Materials

  • Organic cotton
  • Beeswax
  • Tree resin
  • Jojoba oil

Common claims

  • Plastic-free wrap
  • Reusable
  • Compostable

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Not suitable for raw meat due to reusable nature — risk of cross-contamination
  • Not vegan (contains beeswax); plant-based wax alternatives exist

Notes

An excellent plastic wrap replacement for produce, cheese, and bowl covers. Compostable at end of life.

Cleaner alternatives

Kraft Paper Lunch Bag

CLEAN & SAFE

Single-use carrying container for packed lunches

Materials

  • Kraft paper

Common claims

  • Recyclable
  • Grease resistant
  • Biodegradable

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Some kraft paper bags use PFAS-based grease-resistant coatings — check for explicit PFAS-free labeling
  • Single-use product; reusable containers are more sustainable

Notes

Standard uncoated kraft paper is one of the safest single-use food contact materials. Verify the bag is PFAS-free if it claims grease resistance.
