Banana leaves to package fresh fruits!

A simple leaf replaced a lifetime of plastic. In Thailand, some supermarkets made a quiet yet powerful shift by abandoning plastic packaging altogether. Instead of synthetic wraps, they began using biodegradable banana leaves to package fresh fruits and vegetables—an age-old, natural solution revived for modern sustainability. This small change created a big impact. Banana leaves decompose naturally, reduce waste instantly, and return to the earth without harm. By blending tradition with responsibility, these stores proved that innovation doesn’t always mean something new—sometimes, it means remembering what always worked best.
