As sustainability becomes the next buzzword in business, companies looking to reduce energy consumption and emissions at their facilities may want to look at automated materials handling.

A novel approach to packaging fast food.  From the article  :

 " When Annie and Jesse Hill shared a quick lunch of chicken and noodles at Sino Wok in Raleigh, N.C., they noticed the food, not the plates.

But the plates were almost edible, too. Made of bamboo fiber and sugar cane pulp, they're totally biodegradable - unlike most fast food containers."
