Each bar is wrapped in cellophane, which are then wrapped in the normal outer packaging. To make the 4 pack, they simply took 2x two packs and put them on a cardboard tray,and then wrapped those.

I don’t think I’ve ever gone through so much unwrapping for candy.

      What do they do with the plastic?

      Recycling companies have been known to sit.ply export it to another country with worse regulations and dump in the landfill. You should try to find out where their plastic goes and what happens to it. You can’t really just trust that recycling companies are doing things right.

        If they are wanting recycling materials with no cash transactions. Those dumps in other countries probably require payment to use their services, so I assume they wouldn’t want it if they were paying to ship it across the world to throw it in another dump right?

          Recycling companies get subsidized by the government in a lot of places. They don’t need to charge when they get paid with taxpayer dollars.

            Eh good point… there needs to be a bit more regulation over all these industries so the government pays for actual proper disposal rather than dumped elsewhere for more $.
