Ron Lyons: Look, I've been where you are, wondering how on earth I could find something
that would replace all the excess plastic I use but without costing me an arm and a
leg.
Well, these awesome Etee food wraps were the answer I was looking for.
As an eco friendly plastic wrap alternative, they not only preserve your food far better
than any plastic wrap, but they'll cost you less over the long haul as well.
And I'll show you how right now.
Ron Lyons: First, did you know that today, Americans discard about 33.6 billion tons
of plastic each year, but only six and a half percent of it is recycled and about seven
and a half percent is combusted in waste to energy facilities.
The rest ends up in landfills and eventually the ocean, where it may take up to a thousand
years to decompose and potentially leak pollutants into the soil and water.
Ron Lyons: 100,000 marine animals are killed each year because of plastic pollution.
Wouldn't it be cool to be part of the solution to this global problem and save money at the
same time?
You know, we can debate global warming and climate change, but when was the last time
you saw a debate over the effects of plastic?
It's real.
So this is something we can make a difference in right away.
Ron Lyons: Okay, so Etee stands for everything touches everything else.
They're made with organic ingredients from the cotton and hemp to the beeswax.
Based in Toronto, Ontario, these food wraps use a combination of a coniferous tree resin
and beeswax to maintain the freshness of your food.
You see, this combination is actually part of what was used during the mummification
process way back in Egypt and now it's applied in these wraps to help preserve your food.
Ron Lyons: And because they're breathable, the food has a chance to breathe so it doesn't
rot nearly as fast.
Along with some essential oils like cinnamon and clove, you'll notice a massive difference
in the quality and shelf life of your food that I'll show you in just a minute.
The Etee wraps will last up to a year or more depending on how well you take care of them
and how they're used.
Ron Lyons: Now, they can't be used for raw meats, so I stick to using my silicone lids
on my glass containers for my raw meats.
So I want to know, what eco friendly products do you use to help reduce your plastic use?
Comment below and share your tips with everyone.
Ron Lyons: So when you first receive them, they'll actually be folded up in a pack of
three like this, and all you need to do is activate them.
You simply take the wrap and fold it up in your hands to make a ball and just work the
beeswax so it becomes a bit tacky.
You can see it starts to get a little sticky.
They come in a three pack, like I said, and there's a small, medium, and large size.
So this is the small, medium, and large.
Ron Lyons: Now, I've put the link in the description below so you can check them out in more detail
when you're done here.
Now, once it's activated, you're ready to use them.
They'll have a nice tacky field to them.
So for containers, you just have to make sure you fold the edges over on itself, that it
sticks better, and I'll show you that in just a second.
Ron Lyons: Okay.
So here's the wrap and a glass bowl with some product in it.
You can see you just have to press the wrap on itself around the edges to form a tight
seal.
Once you've gone around the entire rim a few times to ensure a seal, you can see it holds
a product inside really well to prevent any spills and, of course, keeps your food fresh.
Ron Lyons: Now, I want to show you that it works the same for liquids.
Here, I have a glass jar and you just follow the same process, squeezing the wrap around
the edge on itself to form a tight seal.
And you can see it holds the liquid in just fine.
Now, I want to show you this avocado, which has been wrapped up for about four and a half
days.
In a plastic baggie, this would have turned brown within a day.
And here, you can see it's still bright green even after four and a half days.
So it really does keep your food fresh.
Ron Lyons: When it comes to saving money, these Etee food wraps will pay for themselves
in a very short period of time because unlike your one time use plastics that run out every
few weeks, these last for up to a year.
The initial price may be a bit more than buying a box of plastic wrap or baggies, but it's
low enough to pay for itself in a very short timeframe.
You'll save money using this product because not only are you spending less over the long-term,
but you're not having to throw out your food as quickly because it's not spoiling as fast
in the plastic wrap.
Ron Lyons: So to care for them, all you do is rinse under cold water with a little eco
friendly soap.
I use pure castile soap in my home.
You don't want to use an abrasive cleaner or hot water as it will degrade the beeswax
very quickly.
Remember, it is wax.
So you just use some cold water.
You can rinse it off just like this.
I use my castile soap, and you just scrub it in there.
Rinse it off good, and that's it.
Ron Lyons: You just let it dry, and it's ready to go for the next use.
They can be used in the freezer for up to six months, but again, just no raw meat.
When they do eventually wear out, you can simply throw them out or add to your compost
knowing that they are biodegradable and compostable.
You can just cut them up into little pieces for your compost.

money with this really cool eco friendly plastic wrap alternative and do your part for reducing
