Green Cell Foam’s certified compostable packing material protects goods just as styrofoam does, but is made from non-GMO corn grown in the USA. We recommend their standard Green Cell Foam over Green Cell Plus, given the challenges of recycling #4 plastic film.
Oh, and forgot to mention - it's water soluble! Watch it magically disappear in your sink.
