SunChips Plans 100% Compostable Chip Bag
In 2010, SunChips says it will introduce the first fully compostable chip bag, designed to fully decompose in about 14 weeks when placed in a hot, active compost heap – as illustrated in this promo video.
Today, SunChips says that 33% of every 10 1/2 oz. size bag is made with renewable, plant-based materials. You can learn the details here (PDF).

its great that you made a compostable bag but it is so freaking noisy

Seriously?! A major contributor to our landfills has their product packaging design team design a product that will 100% decompose within 14 weeks and the consumer reaction is, “The bag is too noisy.” ??!! I just heard this exact comment on the Today Show. I was already concerned that global health might not have a chance based off the ingnorance of the majority…now I know we’re in trouble.
