Let your foods breathe “I promise you, We’ve been taught to ‘lock and seal’ in freshness, yet living food needs to breathe. In Abeego, your cut, naked or skinless foods are protected and can breathe so they are kept alive for much longer than you’ve ever experienced.” Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for single-use plastic takeaway food containers, utensils, and bubble wrap has surged. Since most of them cannot be recycled, they will all end up in the landfill. To reduce this plastic waste, we can start in our own kitchen. Abeego is the world's first reusable beeswax food wrap that breathes. Taking inspiration from nature, Abeego food wrap protects food from air, light and moisture and lets it breathe just like a lemon peel, onion skin or cheese rind. This creates a perfect environment to extend the life of fresh food, preserve natural flavors and produce less food waste.

Abeego is plastic free. It is made with beeswax, tree resin and organic jojoba oil infused into a hemp and organic cotton cloth. To clean the food wrap, always use cold water and eco-friendly soap.

If you maintain and clean them properly, they will last for a year. That’s countless foods saved and meals rescued. At the end of their life, they are 100% compostable. Better yet, cut them into strips and repurpose as fire starters or twist ties for the garden. Founded by Toni Desrosiers, a nutritionist-turned-manufacturer, in 2008, Abeego’s zero-waste production facility is located in British Columbia, Canada. 🇨🇨🇨🇨 39
