Hello all,

Is there anyone out there who knows a manufacturer of biodegradable
anti-static bags that would be suitable to use to ship an electronic
device?

I know there are recyclable plastics that can be used.  The problem with
recyclable materials is that it is only recycled if there is a local
program that can take the material and the end user takes the time to
properly discard the material.  Otherwise, it just ends up in the end
user's landfill for a very long time.  We are trying to avoid that.

So, does anyone know of any manufacturers that make something suitable.

Perhaps there is a better solution out there.  In general, we need to
ship an electronic device (a PCB inside an aluminium enclosure) and we'd
like to use all biodegradable shipping materials.  We'd like to have an
outer box for protection and then the device would be inside the box
with some protection.  The electronics must be protected from static
discharges.

Of course we'd like a solution that is financially acceptable as
well--we don't have the resources to pay for $10K+ setup costs of some
exotic process.

Thanks for the input,

James.

Carbon fibre or dust filled paperbag??
