An Eco-Friendly Alternative to Bubble Wrap, 1: Easy-to-Dispense GreenWrap
You've probably seen it, but didn't know what it was called, or how it was dispensed
As we learned earlier, Bubble Wrap was invented in 1957 as 3D wallpaper. Plastic to replace paper. Now that we're a little more environmentally conscious, could we do a 180 and use paper to replace plastic Bubble Wrap?
Bubble Wrap, like all plastic films, is of course petroleum-based. But if you're packaging fragile presents this holiday season, there is a greener, paper-based alternative called GreenWrap. You've probably already seen the stuff and just didn't know what it was called. It looks like this:

Hey wow! I'm Elron Duck now!
But that's not how it comes out of the factory. That's how it comes out of the dispenser. Out of the factory it just looks like a roll of butchers paper. Only when it's stretched does it create that texture.
