"stahlbush island farms" news and stories

Even the most environmentally conscientious consumers harbor a little trash in their lives. One culprit lurks in the frozen food aisle, with all those veggies sealed in polyethylene -- which takes hundreds of years to decompose.

Now those plastic veggie bags may be on the way out, too. Oregon's Stahlbush Island Farms announced today (on Earth Day, of course!) that they are replacing the standard plastic frozen-food bag with a new, 100-percent biodegradable version. Working with Cadillac Products Packaging Company, which has a twenty-year history of creating sustainable packaging, Stahlbush has developed what they call "the first of its kind" biodegradable bag for its frozen fruits and vegetables.
