Meli Wraps
Melia Foster, Founder
Kilauea, Kauai
Meli Wraps is a Hawaii company designing reusable beeswax wraps to reduce plastic, all while keeping your food fresh. Hawaii is a leader in sustainability and environmental consciousness. This led to founder, Melia Foster starting her company on her home island of Kauai, which now supplies many places beyond Hawaii with a product that reduces single use plastics.
The company uses GOTS-certified organic cotton, beeswax, tree resin and plant oils to create a natural wrap that can be used up to 150 washes or one to two years. The plant oils keep food fresh and the beeswax allows the cotton stick to most foods and dishes. Plus, the wraps can be cleaned with a simple wash of cold water and soap. The fun island-inspired company likes to keep the designs vibrant and seasonal and offers a variety of sizes in its wraps.
Like many small local businesses, Meli Wraps is making big waves in our community.
