What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Pros

Pros

  • Very good sealing performance score.
  • 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.
Cons

Cons

  • Borderline result for sealing of plastic, slight weakness of sticking in areas, unable to stick completely, starts to loose its stickiness when resealing.
  • 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.
