Instructions

Shiny metallic wrappers (e.g. potato chip bags, protein and candy bars) can't be recycled.

Alternatives

Avoid snacks with shiny wrappers, if possible. Purchase or make DIY snacks in bulk or in packaging that can be recycled or composted.

Facts

These types of wrappers are a combination of metal and plastic, which are too difficult and expensive to separate for recycling.
