Why we chose The Chief Project?
- Beeswax Wraps made in Hong Kong - support local!
- Cute pattern designs
- Upcycles excess textile factory waste from the global fashion industry by turning them into reuseable daily products to replace single-use disposables
- Reduce waste by (upcycling) waste - the best low waste approach to sustainability in our opinion 😉
- Employs housewives with sewing skills who are looking to work again in Hong Kong
Product Highlights
- Travel and on-the-go friendly: lightweight and small enough to fit into your pocket for when you're feeling peckish while being out

- Reuseable and washable. Save those money from buying cling film/wraps!
- Easy to use. Easy to fix when the wax wears out!
- 100% natural and biodegradable. 100% compostable.
- Beeswax: (naturally) antibacterial
- Keeps fresh food or cooked food *freshly fresh* in room temperature or in the fridge

Use and Care
How to use
- Fold into a small pouch to carry dried snacks or sandwiches on the go.
- To use as food wrap: fold the wrap into a bag or wrap produce in while shopping for produce.
- Replace plastic cling film/wrap by placing over a container as a cover. Shape the wrap around the container and use your warm hands to soften the beeswax while sealing it.
Beeswax Wrap Care
