Got a sweet tooth but love to recycle? Don’t get your snickers in a twist! We’ve got you!
Here is our guide to tasty eco-packaged candies.
What’s the issue with candy wrappers? Many candy wrappers are made from a combination of plastic and aluminum. This makes the wrappers hard to recycle, and most recycling facilities won’t accept them. The good news is that are lots of yummy alternatives out there.
1️⃣ Go for foil
Foil can easily be recycled, making sweets like Hershey’s Kisses a fabulous option.
2️⃣ Get candy in bulk
You can buy loose candy at some stores where they will pop it in a recyclable paper bag for you. It’s not the ideal choice for Halloween or parties as the individual candy isn’t wrapped, but it’s great if you fancy a cheeky bag of sweets all to yourself!
3️⃣ Buy candy in a paper box
Ah, Milk Duds. Is a trip to the movies complete without them? The great news is the paper box that this candy comes in can be recycled. So, if you’re looking for green packaging, Nerds, Hot Tamales, Lemon Heads and Milk Duds are fantastic choices.
Candy packaging is evolving all the time with companies coming up with lots of innovative ideas. Use your #consumerplasticpower to encourage companies to continue down this path!
