Plastic wrap (also called cling film, Saran wrap, or food wrap) is a thin, transparent plastic film that clings to surfaces. It’s commonly used to seal food items in containers or directly cover them to keep them fresh.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Traditional, highly clingy, but can contain plasticizers that raise safety concerns.
LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene): Safer for food use; slightly less clingy than PVC.
Biodegradable Films: Made from plant starches or compostable materials (e.g., PLA).
Covering leftovers or dishes.
Wrapping sandwiches, cheese, or produce.
Sealing containers without lids.
Some people even use it in DIY hacks (e.g., keeping paint rollers fresh, waterproofing phones temporarily).
