In a world that relies so heavily on single use plastic, it is important to rethink the way we live our lives and use daily products.

Beeswax food wrap is a re-usable, re-washable, eco-friendly, compostable and sustainable alternative to cling wrap and single-use plastic. It is perfect for wrapping sandwiches, cheese, and fruits and for covering those half eaten GYG’s burrito bowls you couldn’t quite make it through.

Learn how to hand-make your very own beeswax wraps from scratch in this fun and easy workshop with UQ Sustainability and UQ Life!
