This is a twist tie that came around my cilantro. For one thing, the sign at Whole Foods said the cilantro was from South Carolina, but this thing says "Product of Mexico." Which one am I to believe?
Anyway, this particular object has to go in the trash as far as I know. Unless maybe if I ripped of the paper and separated the wire. But, lo and behold, through a Google search for "metal twist tie alternative," I stumbled upon a fascinating patent for a wireless polymer twist tie that is fully recyclable. I'm actually a little concerned that I am so excited by this. Sadly, I have never seen such a twist tie, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
