The global warming crisis has made people around the world more aware of environmental conservation, especially regarding plastic waste, which has a significant impact on pollution affecting both land and sea, as well as all of us.

Efforts to reduce the use of plastic bags in all forms have emerged across various sectors, including plastic bags used for packaging fruits like bananas. It is said that these bags have an even more severe environmental impact than regular plastic shopping bags because they cannot be reused. Once consumers open the packaging, they discard it immediately. Additionally, these bags create moisture, causing bananas to spoil faster, leading to food waste.

GO WHOLESALE, a wholesale food ingredient center and a new alternative for entrepreneurs, has collaborated with King Processing Co., Ltd. to create a "band" for packaging bananas in sets of four for the first time, replacing plastic packaging after observing the negative impacts. This band is made from a special type of paper, approximately 2 inches wide, wrapped around a pack of four bananas, which includes product details and producer information.

The advantage is that it allows clear visibility of the bananas' exterior, making it easy to assess their ripeness, skin condition, and handle them conveniently. GO WHOLESALE will label it with "The color of the banana indicates its ripeness" so that customers can choose according to their desired use. It features a color strip to measure ripeness and provides the production date along with a lot number for consumers to trace the source.

This initiative is expected to significantly reduce the amount of plastic packaging waste generated from bananas. If you want to experience "eco-friendly bananas," feel free to purchase them, as they are already available in some GO WHOLESALE branches. If we want the world to love us, we must first take care of the planet.
