Most of you by now have probably heard the story about the compostable Sun Chips bag that was launched about 18 months ago. For those of you that weren’t aware of it, you can check out this YouTube video to see what it was all about. Great idea in concept, right?

On the face of it, this statement from DECC looks like it is increasing the cost to businesses of participation in the CRC EES. Without a recycled payment...
