SunChips Compostable Bag

That compostable SunChips bag is out on shelves now. It's made from corn and will compost within 14 weeks in a "hot, active compost bin."

This compostable bag is made from Natureworks PLA (Plant Materiel). It will compost into a nutrient for the soil within 180 days. Compostable is regulated, as opposed to Biodegradable which really doesn't mean anything because almost everything biodegrades eventually...even plastic (Only it takes 500 years)

Frito-Lay deserves a high five for making this happen. They won't say how much it cost to develop the bag; only that it was "not a cost-savings."
