Food packaging containers either pile up in our homes or probably enter a landfill leading to pollution. A Goa-based startup – LaFabrica Craft – has innovated -a packaging solution that allows liquid food items to be carried in a biodegradable packaging solution. It offers biodegradable packaging solutions through innovative paper bags that prevent liquids from leaking and carry weights upto 20 kg. 

The biodegradable packaging is made with recycled paper pulp or enzymes drawn from cotton, wheat husk or other organic material. The paper is made mostly from carbon-neutral practices. The paper is shaped into a pouch by self-help groups and locals. For leak-proof packaging, the paper is layered with Poly Lactic Acid (PLA), which is a polymer mainly derived from corn or tapioca starch. Once used, the packaging could be put in a compost which allows it to biodegrade through an anaerobic process.
