After our recent excursion to various landfill and recycle centres with KESAB staff, the Environmental Group and Year 8 students currently studying sustainability, were invited to participate in a bees-wax wraps making session.
Wendy from KESAB explained why sustainable wraps like those we made are friendly to the environment; they can be cleaned and reused, have a life expectancy of approximately 12 months, and can be re-waxed. More importantly, they are a better alternative than plastic cling wrap.
The colourful wraps include hand drawn designs as well as brightly coloured patterns; they are made with all cotton fabric and brush-coated with organic beeswax. The group intend to sell the wraps on Brigidine Day – so look out for them!
