Grocery Chain Replaces Plastic Produce Packaging with Banana Leaves

[OnlinePoker]

A supermarket chain in Chiangmai, Thailand, is doing its part to stem the tide of single-use plastics flooding into the ocean.

While most supermarkets bundle their strawberries in plastic boxes, their corn in plastic shrink wrap and their mushrooms in plastic produce bags, this grocer has come up with an innovative, eco-friendly solution.

2. Amazing idea

would love to see us in the US do something like this. Plastic is EVERYWHERE.

3. I used to wonder if this could be done on a commercial scale ...

I guess in Thailand, it's feasible. Not sure about US.

4. Why not make material from corn husks and soybean pods then

and wrap with that perhaps? Seems like lots of things could be made from those.
