History edit
Great Wrap was founded in 2020 by Jordy and Julia Kay. Their goal is to end the world reliance on petroleum-based plastic.[2] In 2021, Great Wrap was named one of the most innovative companies in the Asia Pacific.[3]
Products edit
Great Wrap sells compostable cling wrap made from potato waste.[4] The wrap is certified home compostable, meaning it will break down in a compost pile leaving no microplastics behind.[5] Great wrap is manufactured at the company's solar powered factory in Melbourne, Australia [6] and has the goal to become a fully circular business, with 100% of manufacturing completed in-house.
