ReKindle Fire Starters

Fire starters made from the trimmings of Bee's Wrap.

Bee's Wrap trims its wraps to size and turns the offcuts into fire starters. Roll one or two pieces into a ball or twist one into a wick, light it, and set it on the fire. Bee's Wrap says they burn long and slow with little smoke.

• Bee's Wrap says they are made from the same organic cotton, beeswax, plant oil and tree resin as its wraps
• Bee's Wrap says a pack lights 25 or more fires
• For campfires, fireplaces and wood stoves
• Contains beeswax, so not vegan

The maker
Bee's Wrap is based in Middlebury, Vermont, and has made its food wraps there since 2012. It is a certified B Corporation, certified in 2019 with a score of 96 in the public B Lab directory, and a 1% for the Planet partner.

Why it is on our shelf
The wraps on our shelf leave trimmings behind when they are made. These put the trimmings to use.

The swap
Bee's Wrap says it makes these from its production scraps, so nothing left over from making the wraps goes to waste.

Small choices add up.
