“Compostable stretch kitchen wrap business Great Wrap has launched its Australian-made compostable catering wrap for businesses across the country.
Made from food waste, Great Wrap initially launched a domestic Compostable Cling Wrap, but now provides a solution for commercial waste challenges that is suitable for restaurants, grocers, delis, bakers and more.

“We are providing an easy solution for businesses to eliminate single-use plastics from their supply chain and we’re looking to partner with businesses to help them close the loop and reach NetZero.”

Great Wrap’s catering cling wrap is made in their solar-powered factory on the Mornington Peninsula.
It is certified compostable meaning it breaks down into carbon and water in less than 180 days in commercial and home compost, leaving zero microplastics behind….”
