I recently received a package from a small outfit called Pilot and Captain which sells t-shirts, prints and arrival tags that recall the golden age of travel. It certainly qualifies under the headline of "making supply chains rock". If you are wondering I ordered JFK and ZHR shirts.
Back to the reason for my post. The t-shirts arrived in a 100% biodegradable bag made by Ecoenclose, which is based in the USA. The tagline on the back of the bag states "that within months of composting or landfill disposal this bag will entirely disintegrate" -- I was nearly as impressed with the bag as I was with the shirts. Great stuff.
While I have no reason not to believe it, the scientist in me wants to see this for myself. I'll be burying the bag in my garden and keep you posted.
Note to Ecoenclose - a time lapse video would be a great PR move.
Whenever I tell a friend, colleague or family member about my job as soon as the words "supply chain" are muttered I immediately see glassy eyes followed by a yawn or two. Little do they realize that every time they discard or recycle a carton of milk they are completing the end of the supply chain cycle. Without supply chains consumers would be stuck using products that they had to make or grow with their own two hands. Still not excited, well visit often and eventually you will be.
