In the last PotatoPro Newsletter Chips bags from potato peel? Biodegradable snack packaging" we focused on the changes Frito-Lay was making to the "noisy" biodegradable Sunchips bags. Sunchips original will continue to be sold in the "noisy" compostable bags, but all other Sunchips versions will be packed in regular (non-compostable) packaging until an improved biodegradable packaging is developed.
