Bring back cellophane to save the environment

Whatever happened to the widespread use of cellophane for wrapping and for bagging products.   If cellophane had been used where plastic now is used in the past, then maybe we wouldn't have such a big problem with garbage on land and in the sea.   Maybe cellophane could also be made to construct more items that are now composed of plastic.  Keep in mind that cellophane is entirely biodegradable since it is made of the same substance that primarily provides the structural integrity of plants and trees -- cellulose.  I have to wonder if there is a conspiracy involving the oil industry to suppress the potential of cellophane to make a number of our products instead of plastic.  With a number of localities banning plastic grocery bags, I would like to start seeing the stores in those areas and other areas start replacing those plastic bags with cellophane ones.  Originally, when cellophane became widely used and popular, one of the primary uses was in the form of bags used to contain produce and other items at the grocery store instead of the brown paper opaque wrapping that had been used before.  Looking online, there are a number of vendors that still sell cellophane bags, so it is still being manufactured for that use.  Well, it looks like we should ramp up that production along with finding new and innovative other uses for this biodegradable versatile product.
