Bees Wax Wraps
I have chosen Beeswax wrap as my issue to settle on. I chose this because I think it is something easy that all people can use that save plastic rubbish as well as supporting the survival of bees by becoming more reliable on their wax.
There are a few beeswax wrap businesses out there however I have chosen DeesBees and Lilybeewrap for their locality as well as their well designed products and informative websites
The lilybeewrap website seemed to focus more on the sustainable side of the wrap as well as having a more sophisticated look. It had plenty of articles and content in the website including videos, DIY etc.Â
Dee’s Bees seemed to focus more on the products, the website bombarded with product information. However, the dee’s bees wraps were less expensive.
IMO the lilybeewrap appealed to me more out of the two, however in terms of my website design I think I will aim for a sophisticated/aproachable website that is more simple so that information is clear.
When researching for stats/evidence of the big impact, I found it hard to find the impact of plastic wraps specifically. However, it is clear that plastic that is not recycled is dangerous for the planet - thus, every time you reuse a wax wrap is one cling wrap/ tinfoil/ baking paper that is not being disposed of.
