While not new, the applications are. Been used for wine and soda pop
syrup fer ages. Frankly, I'm glad to see more widespread use. Glass
has been a hazard plaguing us for far too long. I can still vividly
see that happy picnicing family enjoying the river on a hot Summer day
and one of the adults wade into the water from the bank and step on a
large piece of broken glass, buried in the mud, that damn near amputated
his big toe. Now, if they can just make those pouches biodegradable.
