Sometimes you will find some intelligent industrial solutions, like this one, which is good to be mentioned!
Innovia Films has recently launched in USA a new high barrier NatureFlex™ range of renewable and compostable cellulose-based packaging films for the North American market. The new films, NatureFlex™ NKR and NKA, manufactured in Tecumseh, KS, provide the highest moisture barriers of any transparent bio-film on the market.
NatureFlex contains over 90% renewable content as measured by ASTM 6866 and is produced from wood pulp sourced from managed plantations that either have or are actively working towards Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification or equivalent. The product is also compostable and meets the requirements of ASTM D6400, composting within six weeks.
Both these films provide an excellent barrier to gases and aroma, a good barrier to moisture and have a wide heat-seal range. They also offer advantages for packing and converting such as inherent deadfold and anti-static properties, high gloss and they are resistant to grease and oil. NKA and NKR films are ideal for packing moisture-sensitive products such as coffee, cookies, condiments, chips, bakery, and cosmetics. Types of pack construction the films could be used in include—twist wrap, overwrap, pouches, sachets, lamination with other bio-films, HFFS flow wrap, and VFFS bags.

I hope that some companies will take note of it!
