Company description Bee’s Wrap is a quickly growing company that produces and distributes a sustainable alternative to plastic wrap for food storage made from beeswax and cloth. Bee’s Wrap is committed to using our business as vehicle for social change and to bettering the lives of our customers, employees, community and planet.

Company History
Bee’s Wrap was founded in 2012 by Vermonter Sarah Kaeck, a mother of three who has been, by turns, an avid gardener, milker of goats, keeper of chickens, and seamstress. Bee’s Wrap started with a question facing many families and home cooks: How could we eliminate plastics in our kitchen in favor of a healthier, more sustainable way to store our food?

What she discovered is a lost tradition made new again. By infusing organic cotton with beeswax, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin, she created a washable, reusable, and compostable alternative to plastic wrap.
