Giro Pack, a US-based fruit and vegetable packaging manufacturer, has developed compostable welded bags and compostable net clipped bags that are produced using plant-based or organic materials, such as pulp from eucalyptus trees or corn starch. Thus, the focus of ethical food companies on sustainable or green packaging is a major trend driving the ethical food market over the forthcoming years.
