Real cellophane, as opposed to "cello" or polypropylene, is made from natural cellulose that comes from wood. Cellophane is a natural product and is 100% compostable with nearly zero environmental impact. The name came from combining "cello," from cellulose, with "Phane," from the French word diaphane, which means transparent. It is rapidly degraded by fungi who synthesis cellulases. Recycle it by burying it in your garden or compost heap.
