Biogone Home Compostable Cling Wrap 30m review
30m claimed length. 30cm claimed width. Priced at $5.20.
Good points
• Starter tab sticker to locate beginning of the cling wrap.
• No serrated edge, cling wrap has a perforated line every 30 cm. The perforated line is fairly easy to pull apart.
• Can be disposed to a home compost. If no home compost facility then dispose to general waste for landfill.
• Easily reseals to glass and ceramic only.
• No melting of cling wrap when reheating a high fat food.
• Made from plant material.
• Accreditation: Certified for home compost Australian/NZ standard AS5810.
Bad points
• No push-in flaps to hold roll in place within the box.
• Dispensing a larger piece of the cling film can be a little awkward, you need to hold it close to the perforated area to get a clean cut, then the cling wrap can fold on itself and stick together.
• No instructions on how to open packaging.
• Packaging is weak and may come undone over time.
• May be difficult to reuse as the cling film binds together.
