Cling Wrap

Cling wrap is a thin plastic film used to seal and preserve food. It is flexible and lightweight but difficult to recycle. 

 

Disposal Options

Why

Soft plastics like cling wrap cannot be processed in kerbside recycling due to their tendency to clog sorting machinery and the lack of end market use. 

 

Did You Know

When unrolled, electrostatic charges (positive and negative) form on the film, enabling it to cling tightly to materials like glass, plastic, and itself.
