Hi all, we recently switched to using bio degradable bubble wrap (Centrado) . Does any one know where we can purchase Environmentally friendly cling wrap?
Thank you in advance!

Re: Environmentally friendly packaging
if you are using it to wrap around frames, you're wasting you time as it offers little or no protection on it's own, except from dirty finger prints

Re: Environmentally friendly packaging
It's still only available in warehouse packing sized rolls, not handy wrap size yet.

Re: Environmentally friendly packaging
I have a huge roll of brown wrapping paper, it's very economical in use and fully bio degradable. I also have a dispenser for brown gummed paper tape which wets the tape as you pull out however much you choose and then you can pull the end of the tape downward to cut off the the gummed paper tape. So there's nothing non bio deragable used at all and I don't think you will easily beat this method on price either.
Why make live more complicated!
Corrigated cardboard is good stuff too and cheaper grades don't cost too much, or you can recycle the stuff that your moulding deliveries came wrapped in. What's so great about plastic alternatives? We never used to use all this plastic stuff years ago, to switch back to the cost effective paper and cardboard stuff is easy, so what's stopping you. I've even got an old fashioned dispenser for my rolls of brown paper, which makes live so easy.
What's not to like about it. Anyone else like the old fashioned, no gimmicks, cheap as chips, way of doing things? Works for me!
