Perhaps BPI should comment on the SunChips Bag and how it does or does not meet EN13432 and in particular D 6400 – the composting standard. Further a word from the FTC should be forthcoming about SunChips/PLA and other bioplastic claims. We the consumers have to be inundated with too many green washing claims and misinformation on the benefit of bioplastics and nowhere to be found composting facilities. We already know home composting will not do the job.
