An Australian company has developed a new product called Great Wrap, which is a completely compostable cling wrap alternative.
The wrap is made from potato waste and a mix of biopolymers, which allows it to be composted after use. Plastic wrap is often used to store food, but it ends up in landfills or oceans, where it can take hundreds of years to decompose. In contrast, Great Wrap can be composted in your backyard compost or industrial composting facilities.
The company behind the product, Great Barrier, also emphasizes the importance of reducing the use of single-use plastics in daily life. It is an example of how small changes in every day habits can significantly impact the fight against pollution.
