REUSABLE, BIODEGRADABLE FOOD WRAPS

DIMENSIONS

- Small Teal wrap (7" x 8")
- Medium Green wrap (10" x 11")
- Large Blue wrap (13" x 14")


When I set out to make these wraps I wanted to accomplish two things:

1- Develop a reusable food wrap that is better - in every way - than its plastic counterparts.
2- Add some colour and personality to the food storage game.


And here's why - plastic is not as practical as once thought. New evidence is coming out - every day - to suggest that it leaches harmful toxins and hormones into our bodies and it's creating some major environmental issues because it does not biodegrade or decompose, it simply breaks down into infinitely smaller plastic particles that can be eaten by animals, which means the toxins gradually work their way back up the food chain to humans. That's why we called our company etee (Everything Touches Everything Else).

This isn't just a problem in developing countries or out in the middle of the ocean; it's a major issue everywhere - the great lakes of North America - our overcrowded landfills and right in our own back yards.

As the father of two little boys, I wanted to do something - no matter how small - to start turning the tide, so I started exploring this ancient method of food preservation and added some modern flourishes.

Our wraps are made with natural materials that keep food fresh by forming a protective, breathable seal over produce and cheese, bowls, sandwiches and just about any perishable - all without the use of plastic. They are reusable. They are biodegradable. They are easy to use.

They're also light weight and more convenient for certain foods than tupperware.
