New cheese packaging decomposes in 300 days, not 1,000 years: 'The solution was in the cheese itself'
As an alternative to single-use plastic wrapping, Ogilvy Colombia and Nestlé Central America have created “Self-Packing Cheese.”
The new biodegradable film is designed to decompose within 300 days of disposal — in stark contrast to the estimated 1,000 years it takes for standard plastic to break down.
And it’s entirely made from cheese waste and whey.
Now that's brilliant! Admittedly, we tend to buy block cheese or shredded cheese rather than slices, but lots of people prefer slices.

I've found the secret to making a good grilled cheese sandwich is to take off the plastic wrapping first. I might have to rethink that.
