Should I use a biodegradable shrink film?
We do not recommend the use of biodegradable films. The biodegrading process involves microorganisms breaking down the material, merely transforming it into plastic micro-particles. These tiny plastic fragments can make their way into oceans, are then eaten by plankton and in turn are eaten by fish, then entering our food chain. Furthermore, because biodegradable plastics are designed to break down after consumption, they cannot be recycled, breaking the full circle economy loop championed by WRAP.
