Buzzcloth
Looking for an alternative to plastic sandwich bags, clingfilm, foil and wax paper? Hand-made in the UK from all natural organic cotton, beeswax and jojoba oil, Buzzcloth is a reusable, washable, scrunchable beeswax wrap that seals around food to keep air out and moisture in. The beeswax is certified food-grade and cotton cloth is GOTS certified.
