Herb selection fresh herbs

Major retailers and food manufacturers have opted for biodegradable packaging in 2005. For example, Wal-Mart Stores selected NatureWorks PLA to manufacture containers for herbs and other products, while Del Monte Fresh Produce increased its use of NatureWorks PLA for packaging fruit. 

Wal-Mart began using NatureWorks PLA for fresh cut fruit, herbs, strawberries and Brussels sprouts in 2005. It plans to expand use of nature-based packaging for items such as cut vegetables, donut boxes, select tomato packaging and gift cards in due course.
