Breaking Down For the Good

SunChips has been promoting their compostable packaging.  I bought a bag.  The kids ate them.  Now it's going into my compost bin to be put to the test.  They said it breaks down in "just 14 weeks when placed in a hot, active compost bin".  It will take longer here since the temperatures are still cool.

Well that's pretty cool! I saw the commercial and thought,'hey, they should share that bag's chemical makeup with all the potato chip bag people'.

I haven't seen those bags - very cool. Hopefully more companies will follow their example.
