SuperBee, a social enterprise
Founder of SuperBee, Antoinette Jackson
Australian-born Antoinette Jackson founded SuperBee Wax Wraps in 2016. While living in Northern Thailand, she was troubled by the overwhelming presence of single-use plastic products and felt inspired to create a sustainable solution to combat this issue.
Antoinette began developing the perfect beeswax formula for her wraps in her home kitchen. After many failed attempts, she finally discovered the ideal recipe—and as they say, the rest is history!
Today, SuperBee is a thriving and dynamic social enterprise nestled in the picturesque mountains of Northern Thailand. It employs a dedicated team of local staff who are, without a doubt, the heart and soul of the company.
Antoinette’s Golden Rules
- Put employees and the community first.
- Prioritize people, planet, and profit equally.
- If it sounds like a good idea, give it a try!
What We're All About
Empowering women, creating jobs in rural areas, and ensuring compliance with Thai labor laws by paying 20% more than the living wage suggested by the Fair Trade Association.
Promoting a loving, ethical, and safe work environment in our workshop and office. Encouraging our employees to adopt a more eco-friendly lifestyle by providing them with tools and information to reduce their plastic consumption.
Join forces with like-minded individuals who care about the future of our children and our planet. Those who have the courage to do business by following their own minds and hearts rather than the norms that have already caused so much destruction.
We provide a safe and supportive work environment, especially helping families and single parents through family-friendly working hours and conditions. A family-run business that truly lives by our values: inclusion, connection, mindfulness, intention, and practice.
We ensure high-quality standards through our processes, equipment, and practices. When we say on the packaging that our product is handmade with love, we truly mean it.
We support others by sharing our profits and products with projects around the world that promote love and kindness for our planet and its inhabitants. We also support other ethical businesses through social media.
