Default Anyone know of good biodegradable shipping materials?

I'm trying to find some ecologically friendly alternatives to poly-bags and tyvek envelopes for shipping individual shirts. I've been simply forgoing the poly-bag and putting the folded shirt straight in the envelope, but I am concerned that may lead to an underwhelming unwrapping experience for the customer. Also the poly-bags help keep the shirt from bunching up in the envelope.

I've found these:
Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags Are Compostable Friendly, ASTM 6400

Which are biodegradable bags, about the right size for a single shirt, but they say "dog waste" on them, which I don't think sends quite the right message to the customer.

Anyone have any good leads or ideas?

Thanks,
Blake.

There's some good info on this page: Plastic Mailer Envelopes

It's made of 100% recycled materials.

This site has products that are specifically labeled as biodegradable: EcoEndure Environmentally Responsible Mailing Products
