Sun Chips Packaging Goes Green

I perform Food Demos for a marketing company part time and the other day I did a demo for Sun Chips. As you know, I am NOT a proponent of eating junk food..everyone should eat a diet of whole food, not food out of bags, boxes or cans. But junk food isn’t going away.  What a great day it would be if everyone ate whole foods and not processed ones. But we know that foods like Sun Chips aren’t going away any time soon.

They are now advertizing that their bags now will be completely compostable by Earth Day 2010. The bags will be made from polyastic acid, or PLA, and will compost in 12-16 weeks at temperatures over 55 degrees F. 

Many products like these are consumed around the planet daily. This is at least a step in a better direction and perhaps it will prompt other companies to implement similar packaging with their own products.
