Reducing Our Plastic Waste

In room seven we have been doing our topic around reducing plastic waste. So we made beeswax wrap instead of glad wrap and also material bags.

Ingredients for beeswax wrap and how to make it.

-baking paper
-fabric
-beeswax
-tray
iron     

First you lay the baking paper on the tray.Then you  grate the beeswax. Then put the fabric on the baking paper. Put the grated beeswax on the fabric and get another piece of baking paper and put it over top and iron until it is melted and spread around. Carefully peel the baking paper off and hang up the beeswax wrap to dry for 30 seconds and it is done.

For the material bags we cut  out our patterns and sewed it together. I enjoyed making them.

    Hi Nevey
    Well done for writing about the projects we have been doing to try and help us reduce the amount of plastic waste we produce. I liked that you listed the ingredients/tools that you need to make the beeswax wrap. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed these projects. Have you been using your beeswax wrap or bag yet?
