Have you seen the commercials? Have you come across the new 100% compostable SunChips in your grocery store yet? If you haven't, don't worry, it's coming to you soon!
I am a big big supporter of all things Green and I try to live as Green of a lifestyle as I am able and I'm so excited to hear that big companies, like SunChips, are starting to take action too!
They have introduced a bag made from plants so it's completely compostable! Every 10 ½ oz. SunChips package is designed to fully break down in just 14 weeks when placed in a hot, active compost bin or pile.
They created a video, which I have posted below, to demonstrate how the bag decomposes. They actually created a chamber for composting the bag, then to be able to record it, replaced one of the walls with a glass window to see inside. Once that was in place, they set up a camera to snap pictures every 15 minutes for 14 weeks. Of course, it's more complicated than that, so if you want the full rundown, feel free to check out their website! They explain everything in great detail there.
I also read on their website that they use solar energy instead of fossil fuels to run their SunChip plant in Modesto, CA. And hope to continue with the rest of their plants.
Love. It. All of it! Thank you SunChips for thinking about us and our planet! Not to mention, giving us a tasty snack, that's at least better for you then most potato chips! :0)
Let's hope that other companies and individuals follow suit!
Thanks for your enthusiasm for the new SunChips compostable bag! We’re trying to spread the word, so please visit www.sunchips.com to learn more, and become a fan of SunChips on Facebook – and in the meantime, we’ll try to incorporate “crananas” in to our vocabulary!
