It’s a valid question. Not sure why the downvotes. It’s one of those things that is said so often, defense = military, no one really thinks about what the offense would be.

Wouldn’t all non-defense spending be offense spending? Transportation, agriculture, education etc. everything non-military related?

pallet wrap is polyethylene- "stretch wrap"

wrap that comes over, say, a 6 pack of bottles or a 12 pack of boxes is polyethylene- "shrink wrap"

wrap that comes on a roll at costco to put over food is saran wrap. it used to be PVC but is transitioning to polyethylene because PVC is now considered unacceptable for food contact
