“Using banana leaves as a new material to create new ecological packages for take away. Banana leaves are a by product which exists in many regions around the world This material has a wax-like surface which is ideal for wet and greasy foods. It is flexible and therefore can be adapted to many types of packaging. The leaves last long after they are cut off the trees. The packages are cut to form using die cutting technology. No glue is used. The unique qualities of this material allow packages to be opened simply by tearing the banana leaf along its natural perforation.”
