Using banana leaves as a new material to create new ecological packages
for take away. Banana leaves are a 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.

Today the majority of disposable goods are wrapped in
man-made, often petro-based materials that usually last far longer than
the items they protect. With many companies spending millions on
R&D searching for more sustainable alternatives, an Israeli
designer named Tal Marco has taken a decidedly low-tech and refreshing
approach to package design with his use of natural banana leaves.
