To work on the same, Vietnam and Thailand’s supermarkets have stopped using plastic covers for their fresh vegetables and instead of that, they are using banana leaves. Banana leaves are easily available in the region and work great as a binder for the vegetables.

Well, they have taken a step in the right direction and we hope it brings them success and nothing else.
