Compostic 100% Home Compostable Cling Wrap 30m review
30m claimed length. 33cm claimed width. Priced at $4.50.
Good points
• No serrated edge, cling wrap has a perforated line every 30 cm.
• Sticker tab to locate beginning of the cling wrap.
• Home compostable, including packaging.
• Easily reseals to glass and ceramic only.
• No melting of cling wrap when reheating a high fat food, but if the cling wrap touches the food it will melt.
Bad points
• No instructions on how to open.
• The perforated line is only OK to pull apart.
• Side flaps to push in and hold the roll in place within the box unable to press in as the side piece of cardboard blocks it.
• Packaging is flimsy and came apart.
• Roll sits loosely and can easily be pulled out of the box.
• Only OK to pull out the cling wrap, difficult to find the beginning as the cling wrap is very thin, no sticky area to hold the cling wrap for easy access.
• Very light weight can cling to itself.
• 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.
• May be difficult to reuse as the cling film binds together.
