Each year, it is estimated that the New Zealand market consumes 119,000 kilometers (74,000 miles) of clingfilm. Multiply that by other countries in the world and you have significant usage of a single-use plastic material. Cling wrap is traditionally made of a variety of plastics and is therefore not recyclable. Auckland-based Compostic has created a world-first cling wrap that can be home composted. It has its compostable cling film in their native market, and around 130 New Zealand retailers stock the wrap so far. The company’s compostable wrap and resealable bags are made of a blend of three biopolymers. The clingfilm is TUV Austria certified and will break down within 12 weeks in industrial composting and 24 weeks in home compost conditions. The Covid-19 pandemic has delayed Compostic’s rollout to the Australia and US markets, which will now take place by the end of the year.
