Let’s talk about what some of your gifts will undoubtedly come wrapped in: thin-film plastic. 🎁🌎 Thin-film plastic is a lightweight, flexible material that often takes the form of gift wrap, mailers, and shipment packaging during the holiday season. It constitutes 46% of the approximately 14 million metric tons of new plastic that enters the ocean every year! Thin plastic film is almost never accepted in curbside recycling, which is why we are working to find and scale a marine-safe and biologically degradable alternative.
