Bubble wrap pops when you squeeze it because the air pockets inside the bubbles are forced to escape through the material, creating a popping sound. The pressure exerted when squeezing the bubble wrap causes the bubbles to burst, releasing the air trapped inside them.
Popping bubble wrap does not destroy the ozone layer. The ozone layer is primarily affected by the release of ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, not by the act of popping bubble wrap.
To recycle bubble wrap effectively, you can take it to a local recycling center that accepts plastic film or packaging materials. Some shipping companies also offer bubble wrap recycling programs. Make sure to clean and dry the bubble wrap before recycling it to ensure it can be processed properly.
