Woah — this company is pretty darn sustainable. Kettle Foods in Salem, Oregon makes potato and tortilla chips. They run their fleet of company vehicles on biodiesel which they make from their own safflower and sunflower cooking oils. Their factory runs completely on solar power — they have 600 solar panels set on roof-mounted racks, to run their plant with 120,000kWh of electricity per year. They have a wide selection of fully organic chips. Now what about some bioplastic packaging — OK that's asking for a lot in the current market!
