These reusable beeswax sandwich bags are a natural, plastic-free alternative to single-use wrap, and they work beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEthically made, sustainably sourced\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese wraps come from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.utmtsociety.org\/\" title=\"Under the Mango Tree is a Indian social enterprise group working with marginalized group to bring economic and environmental benefits\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUnder The Mango Tree\u003c\/a\u003e, a social enterprise in India we're proud to work with. The beeswax is bought at a fair price, and the bags are made by a women's cooperative earning a proper wage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beeswax itself comes from the Asian honeybee, \u003cem\u003eApis dorsata\u003c\/em\u003e — the rock bee — which builds enormous open honeycombs up to 1.5 metres across, suspended from cliffs and high tree branches. Harvesting the wax is done by skilled local collectors using techniques passed down through generations, working entirely with nature. Selling their beeswax provides income to some of the most disadvantaged communities in Asia. The wax is stronger and more pliable than most beeswax used in wrap products, making these bags especially durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bags are made from natural cotton printed with fun jungle patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy beeswax sandwich bags work so well\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waxed cotton is water-resistant but still breathable — a bit like a rind or a skin — so it slows moisture loss without letting food sweat. That makes it particularly good for sandwiches and bread. Beeswax also carries natural antibacterial and antiviral properties, helping to keep food fresh for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo use, pop your sandwich into the bag and fold down the open end. The waxed cotton adheres lightly to itself and forms a seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; end of life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash in warm (not hot) water with a little gentle soap (I find the soft \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimneysheep.co.uk\/products\/hillbrush-soft-dish-brush\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"soft dishbrush is useful for cleaning more delicate things thoroughly\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003edishbrush from Hillbrush\u003c\/a\u003e ideal for this), air-dry over a bottle or similar, and use again and again for a year or more. When the bag has finally done its service, it goes straight on the compost heap — not into the sea. Kind to the bees, kind to the people who make them, kind to the planet.
