Newman's Own Organics coffee bags restructured

"Reshaped bags from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters boast new graphics in a 'greener' structure. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., Waterbury, VT, has revamped the shape and structure of stand-up bags for Newman's Own Organics coffees, including a new ingredient in the multilayer construction: polylactic acid (PLA), which is derived from corn. According to GMCR, the PLA "helps reduce the environmental impact of the packaging while maintaining the necessary barriers to moisture and light to keep the coffee at its freshest." The film is provided to GMCR as rollstock and run on two G-14 Fres-Co baggers that produce Corner Seal® bags; according to Fres-Co, such bags eliminate the seal down the back panel and stand up straighter for a better presentation."
