  "whyPlastic": "A beeswax wrap is cloth, wax, resin and oil, so the claim looks safe, and the fine print is short. The cloth can be a cotton and polyester blend. Stitching on a bag or bowl cover is polyester unless the maker names cotton. Bags close with a zip, a hook-and-loop strip or a snap. Beeswax, tree resin, jojoba and soy wax are fine. Silicone sheets and polyethylene-lined fabric are sold as wraps too, and they are plastic. Dyes, printed patterns and packaging are rarely described.",
  "whatToCheck": [
    "The cloth: 100% cotton or hemp, or a blend with polyester?",
    "The thread on bags and covers: named as cotton?",
    "The coating: beeswax, resin and plant oil, or a silicone sheet or lined fabric?",
    "The closure on a bag: a tie or wooden toggle, or a zip, snap or hook-and-loop?",
    "Dyes and printing: named, or left out?",
    "Packaging: paper, or a plastic sleeve?"
