The planet can breathe a little easier today because it is no longer in imminent peril from your lunch and leftovers.
A British company has invented biodegradable cling film.
Baco, the British company that makes wraps and foils, has manufactured Baco BioWrap, which it claims completely biodegradable and can be broken down within two years if put on the compost heap or sent to landfill. In contrast, standard cling film takes many decades to fully compose.
Suddenly it’s okay to take sandwiches to work again. British science has freed mankind of the stigma that came with the knowledge our PB&J delicacy was wrapped in Gaia-choking plastic. No longer will the office hippie be able to sneer through his Lennon specs and scratch his soul patch in disdain at your planet-killing plastic habit. Those days are over, friends.
Green consumers will no longer have to painstakingly separate out the cling film from the other products being sent to recycling.
Think of the time hippies in Britain will save by no longer separating cling film from other recycling. More time for bong hits and kumbaya, less drudgery at the garbage can. It’s win, win, win with Baco BioWrap.
We just hope Baco’s product is better than Tesco’s biodegradable bags.
Round-up tomorrow.
great post WE are interested in another
This stuff apparently degrades fastest in traditional landfill, not a recycling box, so just bin to win!
