Wax Wraps: The Natural and Sustainable Alternative to Plastic

At Almaeko , we're always looking for ways to help you reduce your ecological footprint while taking care of yourself and your food. Today we want to tell you about one of our favorite solutions for combating the excessive use of plastics and disposable packaging: waxed wraps.

What Are Wax Wraps?

Waxed wraps are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic, made from 100% natural fabric and coated with beeswax, natural resins, and almond oil. These ingredients create a flexible and durable layer, ideal for wrapping food and keeping it fresh without the environmental impact of plastic or aluminum foil.

How do they work? Beeswax acts as a natural protector that helps seal food, preserving its freshness and preventing direct contact with air. It also allows food to breathe, keeping it in perfect condition for longer.

Benefits of Using Wax Wraps

  1. Ecological and Sustainable
    Unlike single-use plastics, waxed wraps are reusable, significantly reducing the amount of plastic waste we generate. In fact, a Spanish family can discard up to 40 kg of plastics and wraps per year, including cling film and aluminum foil. Waxed wraps offer an excellent alternative, as they can be reused for months or even years if properly cared for.

  1. Natural Freshness for Your Food
    Waxed wrappers keep food fresh without the need for chemicals. Because they're made with natural ingredients, they allow food to breathe, extending its shelf life without losing its properties.

  1. Easy to Use and Maintain
    They're incredibly easy to use! Just wrap your bread, fruit, vegetables, cheese, or any other food item and seal it with the heat and pressure of your hands. To clean them, simply wash them with cold soapy water, let them air dry, and they'll be ready to use again!

  2. Completely Safe
    Our waxed wraps are 100% natural and free of toxins like BPA, phthalates, and other dangerous compounds found in conventional plastics. Plus, they're safe for any type of food, making them a safe and healthy option for your family.

How to Use Wax Wraps?

Using wax wrap is as easy as wrapping a gift. Here are some tips to get the most out of it:

  1. Wrap your food : Simply place the wrapper over the food and press down with your hands. The beeswax adheres easily thanks to the warmth of your hands, creating a perfect seal.

  1. Care and maintenance : After use, wash with cold water and mild soap. Avoid hot water, as this may melt the wax. Let it air dry, and it'll be ready for your next use.

  2. Avoid using it with very fatty or liquid foods, fresh meats and fish : Although they are very versatile, it is advisable not to use them with liquids or fatty foods, as this can affect the durability of the wrapper, nor with raw meat or fresh fish.

The Environmental Impact of Wax Wraps

One of the most important aspects of waxed wraps is their contribution to reducing plastic waste. Every time we use disposable products like plastic wrap or aluminum foil, we are contributing to the global problem of plastic pollution.

Wax wraps are compostable , which means that at the end of their useful life, you can dispose of them responsibly without polluting the environment. In fact, using them can significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste in your home .
