Ecodesign comment
The use of natural fibres for packaging leads to the substitution of fossil fuel based plastics and renewables can be used in an economical way. The packaging of goods with the natural fibres leads to better protection properties and makes the disposal of the nets easier which presents a major advantage when disposing of food waste.
