SunChips' 
Compostable Chip Bag

PLANO, Texas—PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division has introduced what it claims is the world's first 100 percent compostable chip bag for its SunChips brand. The new bags are made with plant-based polylactic acid, a renewable material that also allows the bags to fully compost in about 14 weeks when placed in a hot, active compost bin.
