ditch the saran wrap with the reusable boc’n roll sandwich wrapper!
no matter how eco-conscious we say we are, it’s awful tempting to just throw our lunches in saran wrap, foil or sandwich bags when we’re on the run. and it’s even more difficult to avoid paper wrappers, plastic bags and other waste when ordering lunch at subway, quizno’s or your local deli.

luckily, the folks at marca diferencia felt our pain, and created boc’n roll, a reusable, washable, wipeable mat that can be used to transport joey tribbiani’s favorite food. yes, the boc’n roll is named for the bocadillo (that’s spanish for sandwich) but it can just as easily be used to wrap up other snacks like cookies, crackers and burritos. try to steer clear of soup - it’s not that advanced.

recycle your saran wrap a la ralph rucci at fashion week
ralph rucci, who has been called “america’s great coutourier” is known for keeping things fresh and interesting.
in 2007, models in the show for mr. rucci’s line chado ralph rucci donned heads fully wrapped in saran. the look was futuristic and fun then, but not necessarily something that i would rock on the street.

this year, i was tickled clear to see that mr. rucci decided to opt for plastic wrap dos once again, but in a much more practical and sleek way - as a headband!

from the looks of the saran boxes backstage, i don’t think these coifs were created with recycled sheets of wrap, but i’m totally going to try it next time i’m done preserving my bowls of soup.
ready to eliminate saran wrap altogether? use shower caps.
