The Pithy Take
Growing up, my family used a lot of plastic wrap. I mean, a lot. A plastic wrap for an unfinished cup of OJ in the fridge, a plastic wrap for a plate of dumplings, a plastic wrap for rice porridge with chili peanuts—just everywhere and everything. Not ideal, because, first, plastic wrap doesn’t always cling the way it promises. It’s supposed to stick to the curves of the cup like Spanx! But it just floats loosely like a petal skirt. Utterly useless. Second, it’s not amazing for the environment. Actually it’s kind of terrible. Bee’s Wrap—which comes in different sizes for different food products—is made of cotton, beeswax, plant oil, and tree resin. It’s reusable, sustainable, and you can use the heat of your hands to mold it to a container. The patterns aren’t too shabby, either.
