The best plastic-free food wraps (beeswax & alternatives)
Cling film is single-use plastic you buy again every month. Beeswax and plant-wax wraps seal a bowl or wrap a sandwich, wash off, and last about a year.
What to look out for: Beeswax or plant-wax on organic cotton; vegan versions use soy or candelilla wax.
Quick answer: Our top pick for plastic-free food wraps (beeswax & alternatives) is the Akeeko Reusable Beeswax Food Wraps - Assorted 12 Pack ($19.99). Best on a budget: the Bee's Wrap Sandwich Wrap ($9.99). Most-reviewed: the Nature Bee Beeswax Wrap Variety Set (2,589 reviews).

Common questions
How long do beeswax wraps last?
About a year of regular use. When they lose their cling, a refresher wax kit revives them — and at true end of life, cotton and wax can be composted.
Can beeswax wraps cover raw meat or fish?
No — they can only be washed in cool water, which can't sanitize after raw meat. They shine on cheese, produce, bread, bowls, and sandwiches.
Are there vegan versions of beeswax wraps?
Yes — plant-wax wraps made with soy or candelilla wax work the same way, and we label which type each pick is.
