Historically it was dipped in wax, and a lot of places like butchers will still use wax paper instead of plastic.


The wax in wax paper is also a petroleum product.


We use bees wax paper and cloth in the house instead of cling film/plastic wrap and baggies. Its easily washable and reuesable, everyone should use it and there would be a lot less plastic waste.


Very cool. How do you replace baggies with the wax paper?


Doesn't have to be. Can be vegetable or bees
