As the world moves toward greener environmental practices, many companies are jumping ship on traditional packaging products and moving toward more sustainable choices.
Bubble wrap has been a popular form of packaging for years, as it is a cheap and efficient option. Unfortunately, this plastic also has severe impacts on the environment.

Should You Use Bubble Wrap?
Bubble wrap is a low-cost packaging method that cushions and protects the product it surrounds. In most cases, you can reach out to your local municipality for instructions on recycling, although it often requires a more complex process.
Bubble wrap is created from low-density polyethylene, a commonly used plastic in plastic shopping bags. This material is created using toxins harmful to humans and is resistant to biodegradation.
Only 1% of all plastic produced is recycled each year, and dumping grounds have become a popular place of disposal, causing toxins to contaminate soil and water and harming our environment. These plastics can take 300 years to break down entirely.
