FRITO-LAY: said that in 2010 it will introduce the first fully compostable snack chip bag made from plant-based materials for SunChips, the company’s popular line of multigrain snacks.The change is designed to significantly improve the environmental impact of its packaging. For those of who that don’t know, current snack food packaging has three layers: a printed outer layer with packaging visuals/graphics, an inner layer, which serves as a barrier to maintain the quality and integrity of the product and a middle layer that joins the other two layers. When the packaging is 100% compostable, it will fully decompose in about 14 weeks when placed in a hot, active compost pile or bin, Frito-Lay said.
