SunChips says it doesn’t want to contibute to the trash problem, t ray ban sunglasses hough it make all those bags for its snacks.

So, they say they’ve made the bags compostable.

The bags are made from plants. And the company says a 10.5 oz. bag is designed to fully break down in 14 weeks when it’s put in a “hot, active compost bin or pile.” Though, it could take a little longer.
