Simple Eco Swaps – Cling flim – 14th March 2021

Cling film is really useful in the kitchen but is not recyclable. Replacing it in the kitchen is easier than you might think. Here are some simple ideas:

• Use reusable containers with lids to keep food in the fridge
• Put a plate on top of a bowl in the fridge
• Put sandwiches in boxes rather than wrapping with cling film
• Pour unused liquids into containers with lids
• Try silicone food covers which can be washed and reused
• Try beeswax wraps – they are reusable, sustainable and compostable.
• Try biodegradable cling film which is just starting to become available.
