SunChips Compostable Bag

SunChips has a mission, “to reduce our environmental impact.” To do that SunChips have comitted themselves to taking small steps towards environmental sustainability. In 2010, SunChips introduced the first fully compostable chip bag, designed to fully decompose in about 14 weeks when placed in a hot, active compost pile. SunChips has begun to change the way we understand recycling. 33% of every 10 1/2 oz. size bag is made with renewable, plant-based materials. When we are done with our recyclable products we throw them in recycling bins, but when we are done with our compostable SunChips bag we throw it in our compost bin at home! Hopefully this will prompt other companies to hold a similar mission to that of SunChips, because then maybe we could begin to reverse the damage we have done to our environment.
