Vega Snack bar wrappers!
This crossed my mind the other day and i'm wondering if those sleek packages of the smallar vega bars are biodegradable....they don't seem like an average foil but i like them. Thats half my attraction to vega, cool logo, cool packaging, its cutting edge it's sharp and it works!

Heya - i don't know if you can effectively produce a sealed wrapper that can keep the bars, etc, 'fresh'. I don't know the whole story behind wrappers, but virtually every bar i've ever bought comes in a variation of a foil wrapper...
Until such a thing is devised, keep on the lookout for locations where you can recycle these materials. In Victoria, there's a company called Pacific Mobile Depots which have mobile recycling depots each week where you can drop off practically anything to be recycled, including energy bar wrappers!
Here is their link, hopefully you can find something similar in your area:

Hi Noly,
The wrappers are not biodegradable. We looked at using corn based biodegradable wrappers but they don't yet provide sufficient freshness and shelf stability. They are improving all the time though so we will look at it again in the future!
Thank you for the kind words about our packaging - we work hard at it so thanks for noticing!

I had a thought in my sleep re... packaging of the bars. Freezer bars.. put them right along side the EFA oil >in the Thrive diet book Brendon recommends keeping them cool as they do not freeze and they taste great cool.
We are borrowing the planet from our children after all. THANKS
