Bee-kind Wraps
Rowan · An example school · Food & home
Rowan got tired of throwing cling film away after one sandwich. The idea is simple: squares of cotton, a little beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin, warmed so the cloth holds its shape around a bowl.
A wrap lasts about a year if you wash it in cool water. When it gets tired, it can go in the compost. The first batch would be sold at a Saturday market and to families at school, with a grown-up on the stall.
Rowan is not a real student, and this school is not a real school. We made this page so you can see what a finished project looks like before anyone uses the site for real.
Where the £480 would go
1. Beeswax, cotton, and oil£180
Enough cloth and wax for the first 40 wraps, bought from UK suppliers.
2. Labels, boxes, and postage£140
Paper labels, small boxes, and stamps so a wrap can be posted in the UK.
3. First market stall£160
A table, a cloth, and the stall fee for one Saturday. A grown-up stays for the whole stall.
What could go wrong
- Melted wax is hot. A grown-up has to be in the room whenever wraps are made.
- Wraps are for sandwiches, cheese, and vegetables. They are not for raw meat.
- Delivery is UK only. There is no promise a wrap will look exactly like the photo.
- Nobody can pay on this page. A real project needs a teacher to approve it and a parent to say yes before it can go public.
