Use beeswax wraps

Beeswax wrap

Beeswax wraps are a great alternative to wrap and cover food – in your house or on the go. You can create your own at home or buy a set.

More than 1.2 billion metres of cling film is used by households across Britain every year – enough to go around the circumference of the world 30 times over!
