I think that has to be a fairly strong contender. I emailed some food development kitchens last week to try and work out if it would be viable.
Was thinking that if we posted the bags out in a cardboard sleeve that could be designed in a way for the bag to then be stood within it, it would give the whole thing a similar kind of rigidity as a jar or a plastic tub. But once done the entire thing could be composted or biodegrades whilst you wait for the postman to re-up.
Does anyone in here buy smooth PB?

Peanut butter appreciators of London Fixed Gear and Single Speed. I too am a heavy consumer of peanut butter and have the PBAS sticker to prove it.
For years, PB has been in that 'staple' category of shopping along with bread, milk and the like. But does anyone else feel that the constant recycling of glass jars (or worse) plastic tubs that comes with this really inefficient? Additionally if my brand of choice (pip and nut hands down) isn't on offer at the supermarket, its expensive.
What if there was some way of treating PB in the same light as coffee or beer and get it posted through your letterbox at a time that suited you? You set up a plan, choose your smooth/crunchy, amount/delivery cadence and never need to worry again. Plus, what if instead of using glass/plastic, it was posted out in a fully bio-degradable box-bottom bag, similar to the image attached for what looks like Turtle food? Your conscience and your addiction sated at the same time. When you're done scooping out of the bag like a crazed fiend, the bag fully decomposes in 60 days and you await the postman to go again.
Is this a completely shit idea? Peanut Butter Club? Who is with me on my valiant quest to change the face of the earth, one peanut at a time? I will be investigating further before sinking my mortgage and life savings into this endeavour.
