Recently, Frito-Lay Company came out with an improvement on their product to ultimately reduce waste with the compostable SunChips bag. The same idea was attempted last year, but customers complained about the loud noise the bags made. This prevented the sales of the new SunChips to be profitable for the company. Nonetheless, this didn't stop workers at Frito-Lay. Instead of giving up, they decided to put engineers to work to create a newer version that had the same effect, without the noise. Currently, the compostable bags are only available for SunChips Originals to observe consumers' reactions to the newly improved bag.I think the new product will be very successful this time around. Not only are consumers enjoying the product they've always loved, but they are also protecting the environment in the process. If more companies like Frito-Lay follow in their same lead, our environment will have a more promising future.

This is a great thing for companies to do. I personally think it was kind of stupid for them to throw the idea out over a little extra noise.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly amazing what we can do when we put our minds to it, I think that companies should be required to do the same with plastic products to help make them biodegradable as well to make for a healthier more sustainable future.
ReplyDeleteI simply hate these bags! This article infuriates me. Whenever I'm sneaking around my house these bags makes that task nearly impossible. Also every chip that you eat is unpleasant because you can't get the awful noise of the bag, crinkling, out of your head by the time you eat the chip........
ReplyDeleteThankyou for your time...
