but is it any good? Some stuff being that cheap is just not robust and the bubbles pop at the slightest touch but for £1.75 double or treble it up

I cornered the market on bubble wrap when I moved. Got loads of it left.

That’s the trouble with plastic. It’s so useful - but once you have used it - what do you do with it.
Best use for old bubble wrap that I have found is as insulation. The greenhouse especially - hang a double layer over rods fixed to the sides and roof results in a great place to overwinter non-hardy plants. |

Its frightening how cheap packaging materials are now becoming, a bit silly if considering the environment. |

But my Fathers Day Present arrived in a box with the item internally supported by just three clear plastic balloons or “bladders”. A bit like individual bubbles from a giant bubble wrap. So a lot less plastic - far more air. And like you - I can easily reuse bubble wrap - I use it for insulation. It’s really really good. |
