Best company for reusable covers instead of cling film?

Lots of companies poppping up in my Facebook for alternatives to cling film. I want something that can go in the dishwasher so am unsure about beeswax wraps. Have seen a few for silicone ones, I know it’s buying more plastic but it’s not single use and would be used and not thrown. Looking to cover things to go in the fridge and wrap sandwiches etc not using sandwich bags, thanks. Didn’t want to click on a random Facebook one and buy something full of chemicals.

We use beeswax wraps, they work really well we made our own

For lunches have a look at steel Benito boss just be aware that some are not leak proof .
If you eat yoghurt buy the kilo tubs and reuse them for leftovers and raw meat , though I don't know how well they would stand up to a hot wash in a dishwasher. I use bees wax cloth for cheese and open packs of cooked ham etc.
@Great how do you make your own ?

We now keep all our margarine tubs and use these for freezing and leftovers, it's working really well. We can't stop using them as we need to buy a dairy-free spread. It does look like we have a fridge full or margarine some days though.

I put another plate over bowls in the fridge, or re-use washed ice cream or takeaway containers. For cheese I just fold the end of the packet over and put an elastic band round it. Could do the same with ham, depending how it is packaged.

We make beeswax wraps- it’s dead easy, just grate some beeswax, sprinkle over the cloth you’re going to use, sandwich cloth+beeswax between 2 sheets of grease proof paper and iron until the beeswax melts and soaks in.
We tried the silicone things and they were a bit rubbish, but I got some cheapies from aldi, so 🤷‍♀️

@WeldMeDaphne thanks I will give that a go .
