Plastic wrap...it's made from petroleum-based plastics polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) to make it soft chemicals called phthalates are added, which are known to cause hormonal disruption and developmental problems, and have ...been found to leach into food.
Plastic wrap is intended to be thrown away after just one use, which is very wasteful and adds greatly to our land fill. A rough guide as to how much a child would use in plastic wrap based on a one sandwich, one muffin and a handful of nuts/sultanas wrapped in plastic wrap in their lunch bag each day for a year, would work it out to be 105meters of plastic wrap that would be dumped into our ever increasing landfill. Times this by a small school of 450 students and it comes to a massive 47 250meters per year!
It's a bad product for your health and for the environment!
