Sun Chips to be packaged in Corn Bags

Environmental Leader has an interesting article/video on Sun Chip™ and the move to biodegradable packaging. Sun Chips, Frito Lay, are using 33% renewable material in every 10 ½ oz size of chips. They plan to go 100% renewable packaging by 2010. They state it will be the first fully compostable chip bag on its kind. Link to Sun Chips pdf here. I think they are using PLA from NatureWorks, but cannot be certain.

Sun Chips can actually say they are dried by the sun too. They use solar power at a plant where they are produced. I can’t say if they are 100% solar power, but still pretty cool.

I’m running down to the nearest Walgreens, and getting’ me some Garden Salsa’s.
