The greenovations continue. The [SunChips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunchips-art-seen-packaging) brand has introduced its 100% compostable chip bags. Attempting to limit the number of tumbleweed chip bags rolling down the street, SunChips has created the first (of many, I'm sure) compostable chip bags, which are designed to completely break down and dissolve in 14 weeks. There is the slight stipulation, however, that in order for the bag to completely disintegrate, it has to find it way into a [hot compost pile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-compostable-coffee-cups)... There are a ton of those on city streets, right? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Compostable Chip Bags:** Compostable chip bags as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional packaging. ### Where This Applies - **Food Packaging:** Opportunity for food packaging companies to develop and offer compostable alternatives to reduce plastic waste. - **Sustainability:** Emerging market for sustainable packaging solutions that align with consumer demand for environmentally friendly options. - **Waste Management:** Innovative waste management solutions required to accommodate the proper disposal and composting of compostable chip bags. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fully Compostable Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-seed-packaging.md) - [Compostable Drawstring Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-drawstring-bags.md) - [Recyclable Resin Chip Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tortilla-chip-packaging.md) - [Sustainable Snack Chip Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsico-europe.md) - [Folding Fountain Drink Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fountain-drink-cups.md) - [Compostable Packaging Salad Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-salad-kit.md) - [Paper-Packaged Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkers-baked-multipacks.md) - [Biodegradable Cheese Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfpacking-cheese.md) - [Cheesy Black Bean Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southwestern-queso.md)
