Havent had mine yet, but that sounds like good news.

According to CCC magazine,the wrap takes 52 weeks to degrade .A lot less time than a polythene version , hope CMC quickly follow suit.

I got my magazine this morning.  Does anyone know how to recycle the new C&CC wrapper, as I don't have a compost heap.  Will it go with tbe green food waste/ garden waste? (We put food waste and garden waste in the same bin?  Or does it still go with paper, or even plastic?

I will certainly make the suggestion that the CAMC look into the possibility of changing the existing pacpackaging for something more 'green'.

Our club is also using recyclable covers.  See thread I started over a month ago

https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/club-together/discussions/club-talk/club-products-services/magazine-wrapper/

Page 10 in the mag tells all. Compost heap, garden waste bin,  kitchen food waste caddy, open the bag one end as use as your caddy liner! Not in normal bin or plastic. 

I think it's great 😃 huge improvement.  Little steps etc

If it's made from potato starch perhaps we should cook it and eat it 

Well maybe 😉. Hopefully they looked at world hunger before deciding on making a wrapper with the stuff? Who knows? Was there any/enough profit in alternatives??

I suspect there are lots of potatoes grown which are not suitable for human consumption because of the shape or blemishes and I expect it is these that are used as well as peeling to create the starch used in such products? I expect a perfect potato is more likely to go to Mr Walker

I wonder how many will remember to add it to their green or food waste bins? Most will likely end up in landfill but at least they will rot away there.

My cover looks and feels just like plastic!! Wildwood how did you know that your's had been made of potato starch?

It's the other club C&CC that has potato starch wrapping. Mine went in the food recycling bin and was collected this morning,

This club says it's biodegradable plastic I believe, but watching the BBC4  programme last night the secret life of rubbish dumps I'm not sure that's a good thing 😲. Not sure if biodegradable is recyclable? I put our in our plastic recycling. But then we have 7 receptacles per home for recycling. Sorting rubbish requires a good deal of thought here, when were away there seems to be far less sorting before it goes off 🤣.
