The Shifting Gaia rating evaluates brands based on sustainable practices, ingredients and materials, and social responsibility, among others. These are a few factors influencing this brand's score:

sustainability practices

SuperBee’s core product, beeswax wraps, is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, pesticide-free beeswax, organic coconut oil, and tree resin, all of which are 100% natural, biodegradable, and sustainably sourced​. Their wraps are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic wrap, offering a durable, reusable, and compostable solution for food storage. SuperBee also focuses on reducing waste with a made-to-order model, minimizing overproduction.


The brand is B Corp certified, underscoring its commitment to rigorous environmental and social standards. The only area for improvement is in expanding its sustainability efforts beyond current product lines and materials, but their overall approach is very strong.

ingredients & materials

SuperBee uses natural and organic ingredients across its product range. Their beeswax wraps are free from harmful chemicals and are made with biodegradable, non-toxic ingredients, ensuring they are safe for both the environment and consumers​. The use of organic cotton and pesticide-free beeswax ensures that their products do not contribute to environmental degradation while offering a completely non-toxic alternative to conventional food wraps. Their commitment to non-toxic formulations makes them a leader in this category.

social responsibility

SuperBee is deeply involved in social responsibility efforts. The company operates in Northern Thailand, employing local villagers and paying 20% above the living wage, particularly focusing on empowering women in rural areas​. They provide a safe, family-friendly working environment and actively support local community projects. Additionally, SuperBee donates a portion of its profits to global environmental and social initiatives.

While their efforts are commendable, the brand could improve by obtaining more certifications related to labor rights and fair trade.
