Hey Latitude Reader,
You what you should do right now? You should drop that paper your grading and read this article here about the new design of the Sunchips Bag. Although not totally certified yet by the Biodegradable Products Institute, Frito-Lay claims the bag can completely break down within the span of 14 weeks. This may actually turn out to be more of a curse than a blessing; people could start to compost every chip bag they see, not having a sure way to tell if it is biodegradable or not. This is why 3 months after its release, bags will come with the official BPI stamp of approval on them. That is, if they're certified. Only time will tell. So tell everyone you know about the new bags and start composting.

AWESOME!!!!!!! Does that mean that we can litter now and it will be ok?
ReplyDeleteI listened to you and dropped my papers. Now I have a messy pile of loose papers on my floor. Thank you, Latitude.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Can we eat these "bags"?
ReplyDeletePaul, we hope you’ll give the SunChips compostable bag a try. The new bags are just starting to hit store shelves and do in fact say that they will compost in a hot active compost bin. It's important to keep in mind that this is a first-generation bag and the SunChips R&D team will be evaluating the feedback we get from consumers to improve and refine the packaging further. If you’d like to learn more about the bag and how to compost it, please visit www.sunchips.com.
