The number of commercially available cling wrap products claiming to be compostable is on the rise. It means companies are recognising how important it is to stamp out plastics, but it also means they’re reacting to the demands of the buying public which is great news for all.
However with greenwashing rife across all sorts of consumer-driven industries, I wanted to find out not just how compostable these products are, but also how responsible their production processes are, how earthconscious their packaging is and, importantly, how effective the actual product is in day to day use.
I’ve sourced three readily available products, Eco Clingwrap by Sugar Wrap, Compostic 100% home compostable cling wrap and Great Wrap’s Home Compostable Cling Wrap to compare.
