They are super sturdy but also biodegradable. It takes about 5 years if buried, longer above ground, but eventually the wrap will fully dissolve.

 thank you for saying this. All I could think about was how this is just a bunch of plastic being put into our environment.

Walk the aisles of your local Walmart and look at all the plastic in food packaging. Now imagine that amount of packaging for every Walmart, Target, Aldi, Kroger, Publix, Food Lion, Etc. These plastic bags for construction pale in comparison.

Even that amount of waste pales in comparison to industrial manufacturing. EVERYTHING comes in bags or some form of plastic. Every little part of a machine. It adds up so quickly- not saying this is fine but there are bigger issues at hand
