Dutch Supermarket Chain Offering Biodegradable Packaging

By Nick Aster | September 23rd, 2005 View Comments

Personally, I still wonder why people insist on a large disposable bag or any kind for everything they get in the produce section, and it’s unlikely that people’s behavior will change much unless government policies like bag-taxes come into effect. But that’s just my two cents.

  • We currently use a lot of PLA plastic in our packaging and have really liked it. We are excited to see that the developments in biodegradable and earth friendly plastics and other packaging is improving.
