An Eco-Friendly, Plastics-Free Way for Supermarkets to Package Vegetables
Noe, good initiative. In India on coastal regions wrapping vegetables, fruits and even food was a widely used practice. Even now, it is used this way but to a lesser extent, thanks to plastic bags. One tip is, the banana leaf can be slightly heated, so that, it doesn't get torn easily. (In our native it used to be very common practice, to avoid the leaf tearing apart)
This is just amazing initiative. I hope more and more countries become aware of this plastic waste issue and move towards natural packagings
Stop and Shop started using really nice bags with handles for ten cents a piece. Why am I PAYING THEM FOR BAGS. JUST BRING BACK THE OLD PAPER ONES. I COIULD PUT MY NEWPAPERS IN THEM FOR RECYCLE.
Bring your own bag. The concerns of the four newspaper subscribers left in the world are never going to be socially relevant again.
How about we just buy veggies by weight and skip all the sticker labeling, and packaging (plastic or otherwise)?
You would still have to put the veggies in a plastic bag, right?
When I shop farmer's markets, I place the items in a canvas tote. I guess it would get more complicated at super markets. They would probably need a new process. Maybe a basket that hooks to the inside of your cart specifically for veggies?
I like the way these banana leaf wrappings look, fancy. But like many fancy things it seems to be also very impractical and expensive.
