I don’t know what it is but all my favorite food and beverage companies are becoming more sustainable and coming out with even better ways to be innovative and make a clear difference in the way we live. Sunchips is a brand that most everyone knows for their great taste, whole grains, and variety of flavors without the greasy residue. Now the company has taken their packaging to a whole new level and come out with a 10 ½ oz bag that is made of plant material and is 100% compostable. The bag is designed to decompose within 14 weeks and comes with a quirky and loveable slogan “Because the Earth likes to eat healthy too.”
Now I don’t know if you have picked up a bag of these new SunChips lately but I encourage you to do so to hear the difference sustainability. Since the bag is made of plant matter it actually makes a louder sound which I prefer because to me it’s a constant reminder that when I throw that bag in the trash it’s not going to sit in a landfill for decades but a matter of weeks and then the cycle starts all over again.
Does anyone want to call greenwashing on this? If so please watch the video that demonstrates the decomposition of the bag within 14 weeks and please feel free to comment on this blog. It’s a step in the right direction and this could be something that all companies may catch onto.
