What is it that you make and what skills do you use?
Little Bumble beeswax wraps are a sustainable and natural alternative to plastic wrap. Simply wrap food to keep it fresher for longer then rinse and reuse! Lovingly hand made with local and natural ingredients in Gippsland. You can even make your own with our DIY kit with our scientifically developed recipe.
What inspired you to start your business?
I’m Laura and I’m a proud Gippslandian. While on maternity leave from science teaching, I became frustrated at the food wastage and plastic pollution that was occurring in my home. Being raised on land and striving to be a more sustainable, I began to research an alternative to plastic wrap, beeswax food wraps. I put my science skills to use and developed an all-natural formula that produced premium wraps that could be customised, refreshed and made into a DIY kit. With the support of my family, friends and community, Little Bumble was created in June 2017.

What makes you so special or different?
Our wraps are scientifically developed, Australian Made certified and locally produced with strict food safety standards. This, along with our premium recipe, makes us unique! Another way we stand out from the pack is that our wraps can be refreshed and rejuvenated after its lifespan, with the pre-blended DIY kits, to keep them going strong for years.
What is the most rewarding part of what you do?:
At Little Bumble we are passionate about educating and empowering all households to rely on a more sustainable way to keep food fresher for longer. By handcrafting premium, reusable beeswax food wraps we are helping households reduce plastic pollution and also food wastage.
What is your favourite product to make?
We love to mix up big batches of our special blend of ingredients so the whole studio fills up with the delicious smell of beeswax. It often draws a crowd with curios bees dropping in for a visit at the open windows!
