Compostable Potato Chip Packaging
Lay's is Bringing Commercially Compostable Bags to Coachella
Laura McQuarrie — April 4, 2022
Fan-favorite snack products like Lay's Classic, Doritos Nacho Cheese and Cheetos Flamin' Hot are coming to Coachella 2022 in commercially compostable bags. These bags are for commercial composting facilities only and they are made from 85% renewable plant materials. According to Frito-Lay, "The raw-material production for these films produces approximately 60% lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than traditional snack bags."
To make sure that festival-goers are able to properly dispose of the sustainable snack packages after use, there will be clearly marked compost bins on the Coachella campgrounds. Ultimately, PepsiCo aims for 100% of its packaging to be recyclable, compostable, biodegradable or reusable by 2025, and it is speaking to the hearts of a large audience at the large outdoor festival event.
