In my childhood, my classmates and I are fond of using the banana leaves to pack our lunch. It creates an appetizing smell, enhanced food flavor and promotes less cleaning works after meal, as we only throw the used leaves in the garbage bin. As time flies, plastic lunch boxes are hitting the market leaving the banana leaves an obsolete one. Today, with the aim to help save the environment, I am surprised and happy at the same time seeing the banana leaves as one of the catalysts in saving the earth. The Packaging the Future series includes the banana leaves as one of the better packaging solutions.
