We have yet to see how the 'nano clay' freshness extenders could be used in a true degradeable or compostable bag. If you want to learn more about the best 'green' material for bags try www.telles-mirel.com. You have a lot of interesting things on your website. Would love to talk to you further.

I also wonder why an ordinary french clay, or other medicinal or fine clays wouldn't work as well. Most clays do NOT care WHAT they absorb .. they'll absorb almost anything wet, slimy, etc. & apparently at least some gases. WHY NOT ordinary clay in paper bag to shake around the produce?

But seriously, here is an article from today’s SF Chronicle about how neither plastic nor paper bags are all that great — reusable cloth bags are the best!
