<p>Plastic wraps are made from a form of a plastic known as low-density polyethylene. The problem is that plastics are very long-lived products and they need thousands of years to decompose. One of the major concerns is that plastic wraps often end up ingested by marine animals and can poison our wildlife.</p>

<h2>Bee’s wrap</h2>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This fantastic invention is a sustainable alternative to plastic wrap. Cotton muslin cloths are dipped in beeswax, jojoba oil and tree resin. The beeswax and jojoba oil help with preservation because they contain antibacterial properties. Just use the warmth of your hands to form the wrap over the food. The wrap will hold its shape when it cools to keep it sealed and fresh.</p>
<h2><em><strong>Make your own non-plastic wrap</strong></em></h2>
<p>This is also a great option and here is what you will need if you decide to try this alternative:</p>
<h2>Beeswax</h2>
<ul>
<li>A heat-proof container to melt the beeswax Fabric cut to any size, like 8″ X 8″ or 12″ X 12″, in the thinnest, tightest weave material you can find (tightly woven muslin is ideal)</li>
<li>Tongs or chopsticks</li>
</ul>
<p>Place beeswax in your heat-proof container and make sure that there will be about a half-inch of melted wax in the pan. Carefully place a piece of fabric inside of the wax, once it has all melted. Make sure it is thoroughly coated, then lift it out and let the liquid wax drip off until its cooled. Set it aside to cool completely and re-dip the edges if necessary.

<p><em><strong>NOTE:</strong></em> Using nothing as an alternative to plastic wrap is also an option. Wrap things if it&#8217;s necessary because some things really don&#8217;t need a plastic wrap.
