Time to ditch that clingy friend!
Cling-film or PVC wrap is very popular around the world. In the United States alone, one research group found that in the previous six months, nearly 80 million Americans had used at least one roll of plastic wrap. In addition, they found that more than five million Americans had gone through more than 10 million boxes in total.
The popularity of this compound is bad news for planet. Clingfilm is difficult to recycle which means it typically enters the waste system after just a single use. Once at Landfill, it has been found to leach out toxic chemicals which poison the waterways and animals that inhabit them.
In marine environments, plastic wrap contributes to a larger plastic pollution crisis. Unlike other plastics however, scientists are finding that PVC does a great job of picking up bacteria and metals. Those contaminated pieces of microplastic then harm the organisms that mistake them for food.
Our stretchy silicon food covers are not only an excellent eco-friendly alternative, they offer a number of distinct advantages over cling-film that make them a ‘must have’ in every household.
First of all their robust design makes them highly reusable, equalling hundreds of meters of clingfilm over a lifetime.
Secondly they are made from silicon-rubber which is not only recyclable, it is much more ‘inert’ than plastic. This means that if they do find their way to a landfill they won’t leach out harmful chemicals like plastic does.
From a practical point of view, the food covers are difficult to puncture and can create an air-tight seal around your food containers. This seal leads to a greater degree of freshness and it also allows you to keep liquids safe without the concern of spillage (check out the videos opposite to see how).
