Sustainable Brand Setbacks: Tesla Roadsters Recalled, SunChips Packaging Shelved

Advocates for environmentally sustainable business are having a rough week. Two products beloved by the movement, the Tesla Motors Roadster, an all-electric vehicle, and PepsiCo Frito-Lay's SunChips, the snacks sold in biodegradable bags, are suffering setbacks. Tesla voluntarily recalled Roadster models 2.0 and 2.5 due to a fire risk... and PepsiCo Frito-Lay announced it would scale back the use of plant-based, biodegradable plastic packaging for SunChips due to complaints about the bags making noise.
