Potato chips are almost the number one
snack food among Americans. All flavors and types. According
to Frito Lay’s website, “they say they sell about $12 million worth of potato
chips so if you break that down into a general $3 per bag, that makes it about
4 million bags sold per year.
With so many bags of potato chips being
sold each year, where should the empty bags go?
“Most potato and tortilla chip bags are
made from aluminum laminated with polypropylene, also known as metalized
polypropylene, or low-density polyethylene film.” They generally are not recyclable in most
cities since they are made of mixed commodities that cannot be separated.
Regardless of the bags that potato
chips come in, they continue to be made up of two or more recyclable materials,
making the bags not recyclable items by conventional standards.

One less thing we can take to our local supermarket for recycling. Would make more sense for them to use commonly accepted recyclable materials. Reduce, Reuse, Reprogram :P
