Beeswax wraps handcrafted by the Sustainability Team 

Working with the the Year 12 Sustainability Committee, we have created some amazing beeswax wraps – a reusable, sustainable alternative to Glad Wrap, plastic and zip-lock bags. The wraps are made from pine resin, jojoba oil and 100% food-safe beeswax. There are some beautiful designs to choose from and you can be the proud owner of one (or more) by ordering here.

All money raised will be donated to the Wheen Bee Foundation, Australia’s only registered not-for-profit charity that promotes awareness of the importance of bees for food security, and raises funds for research that addresses the national and global threats to bees.

The wraps are extremely easy to take care of. All you have to do is gently rinse them with cool water and a touch dishwashing soap and hang them to dry. (Don’t scrub them). They can be used to wrap crackers, snacks, sandwiches, covering bowls, plates and open avocados as an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic wrap.

We hope everyone enjoys the beautiful designs we have lovingly made and feels wonderful about doing something to help our environment!

How to collect them: Any students who has purchased a wrap can collect it on Friday 4 September 2020 at lunchtime. There will be a contact free stall outside the Food Lab (Innovation Centre).
