Plastic releases pesky chemicals that leach into our food and our bodies. It's causing quite a stir:
"Most plastic products, from sippy cups to food wraps, can release chemicals that act like the sex hormone estrogen, according to a study in Environmental Health Perspectives."
(National Public Radio)
Our wraps are plastic free, they preserve food - naturally - with beeswax, coniferous tree resins and essential oils all infused in an organic cotton and hemp blended cloth.
Our landfills & oceans would benefit from a low plastic diet and single use plastics are the main culprit...
"Today Americans discard about 33.6 million tons of plastic each year, but only 6.5 percent of it is recycled and 7.7 percent is combusted in waste-to-energy facilities... The rest ends up in landfills where it may take up to 1,000 years to decompose, and potentially leak pollutants into the soil and water."
(Columbia University's Earth Institute)
Our wraps are reusable and because they're all natural, when you're done with them, they go away - just toss them in the trash and they'll decompose like leaves.
Organic food is now widely available.
Why?
Because it's better for our bodies and planet. So why are we still using plastic - which can't biodegrade and is proven to leach chemicals into the soil we grow our food? It doesn't make sense.
But our wraps do...
Each time you see these bright beauties, they'll help remind you that there is a better way.
Have you ever heard of King Tut? He's the most renowned Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. And we know all about him because his tomb was discovered in the 1920s. His body had been preserved for more than 3,000 years using beeswax and coniferous tree resins.
“Coniferous resins, the scientists [Stephen Buckley and Richard Evershed, of the University of Bristol] explain, can slow microbial degradation, whereas beeswax has antibacterial properties and serves as a sealant.” (Scientific American)
So we applied those same principles to food preservation and storage and added a few additional ingredients...
Beeswax provides an antibacterial seal over perishables. We also added a touch of non-gmo soy wax to our recipe to make the wraps stickier, which helps it to adhere to bowls.
Coniferous tree resin helps to prevent the beeswax from cracking when cooled, while allowing food to keep for longer.
Organic Jojoba oil helps to soften the wax, making the wraps more malleable and tacky.
Organic Cinnamon Essential Oil is added to keep food fresh longer, while also ofsetting the sweet honey aroma of the beeswax.
Organic Clove Essential Oil naturally enables food to be kept fresh for longer, and balances the sweetness of the beeswax
All our ingredients are infused in a blended hemp (55%) & organic cotton (45%) muslin fabric that is dyed with non-toxic, eco-friendly dyes.
The wraps are great. The 3 sizes are helpful and they hold their shape well. Ordered them at the same time as the canvas Tote and all were delivered quickly. Even liked the ETEE packaging they all came in...organic feel, thoughtful and true to it's brand and mission.
AMAZING! I love love love these wraps! They are so versatile and are so easy to use! I have used them to wrap cheese, melons, sandwiches and many other items. I will NEVER go back to plastic wrap! I will surely order some more of these in the future!
I am trying to (slowly) transition into a more Zero Waste lifestyle and these are perfect. So far I've used them to wrap my lunch items - they're nice and light so I don't have to carry my big glass containers around. I couldn't be more happy! What a great alternative to plastic!
Try them, wrap them - if you don't love them - let us know and we'll provide a full and prompt refund.

Absolutely. Here's the thing, if you're not happy, we're not happy, so if our wraps are not what you expect, we will gladly refund 100% of the cost within 90 days (the average life of a well used wrap) and you can keep them, no need to return...
On average, each sheet should get about 120 - 150 uses, but it ultimately depends on how often and how intensively and for what purpose you use them. Some people will get a year out of them - especially when used as bowl toppers - while others who beat them up on a daily basis may get closer to 4-6 months.
Simply warm them in your hands and wrap them around produce, bowls, sandwiches, nuts, snacks, cheese and cooked / smoked meats - virtually any perishable. The wraps stick to themselves and provide a clean and protective seal. They cool and cure almost instantly.
They bug us too. So if you're in the US or Canada, your shipping is FREE. We use very efficient and eco-friendly envelopes, so international shipping fees are very reasonable.
Fear not friend. After use, simply rinse in cold water - hot water will reduce the wax coating - and wash with an eco-friendly soap (avoid alcohol based soaps), just like you would a plate or bowl. Once clean you can either hang to dry or use a towel and re-use immediately. They may - with certain foods like pomegranate - develop a darker patina, but as long as you keep working them they'll keep delivering freshness.
Fair question! All of our dyes are non toxic and free of heavy metals, AZOs and formaldehyde found in typical textile dyes. We use a Certified Organic cotton & hemp blended fabric. Both the dyes and the fabric utilize very little water to be processed, of which a great portion is recycled. They are certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard - recognized as the world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres - which means they are also in compliance with social criteria.

30 days or less, yes! But they're not recommended for uncooked meat.
Each pack includes:
Avoid uncooked meats, long term freezer use (more than a month) and microwaves (unless you want to add a little beeswax soup to your bowl of zoodles).
