Switching to reusable beeswax wraps and bread bags is one of the simplest ways to cut single-use plastics from your kitchen. These products keep food fresh through a breathable, natural coating that locks in the right amount of moisture without trapping excess humidity.
They are washable, long-lasting, and compostable at the end of their life, making them both practical and sustainable.
Below are some of the best options available, each with unique features for different storage needs.
AB Essentials
AB Essentials makes these reusable wraps from organic cotton coated with beeswax, giving you a natural way to keep food fresh without plastic. They’re flexible enough to wrap sandwiches, cheese, or cover bowls, and they wash easily in cool water for reuse. Each use replaces cling film or foil, helping you cut down on single-use waste while keeping your food protected.
Project Wine
Made from natural cotton lined with beeswax, Project Wine’s bread bags are designed to keep loaves soft for longer while avoiding the sweat and waste of plastic storage.
They’re generously sized to fit homemade or bakery bread and can be used straight from the counter to the fridge. The breathable material helps prevent mold, making them a practical swap for disposable bags.
Bee’s Wrap
The cut-to-size roll from Bee’s Wrap gives you one long sheet to trim for exactly what you need, whether it’s wrapping a loaf, covering a casserole, or storing vegetables. It’s made in the USA from organic cotton, beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin… all biodegradable.
Bee’s Wrap Vegan
For those avoiding animal products, Bee’s Wrap offers a vegan version made with plant-based waxes. The sandwich wrap is perfect for lunches, snacks, or covering small bowls. It’s reusable, compostable at the end of its life, and helps replace single-use plastics while still providing the same pliable, protective seal as traditional beeswax wraps.
Kalolo Malosi
Kalolo Malosi’s extra-large beeswax roll gives you plenty of material to wrap big items or multiple foods at once. The breathable, natural coating keeps bread crusty and produce crisp without the need for plastic. Being able to cut it to size makes it a versatile tool for anyone aiming to reduce kitchen waste.
SnailBread
SnailBread’s XL bread bags use a moisture-locking beeswax lining to keep homemade loaves fresh without trapping excess humidity. They fold easily for storage, work in the fridge, and can be used over and over again. Choosing these over disposable plastic keeps more packaging out of landfills.
OHIYO
OHIYO makes beeswax-lined cotton bags that work for both freezer and fridge storage, helping bread and baked goods keep their flavor and texture. The natural materials are breathable yet protective, making them a better choice than sealed plastic for long-term freshness.
Bee Carefree
The Bee Carefree set includes four reusable wraps, a produce bag, and two beeswax bars to refresh the wraps when they start to lose stickiness. All are made from natural cotton, beeswax, and jojoba oil, giving you a full kit to reduce single-use food storage waste. The added bars extend the life of the wraps, meaning less waste and more value.
