What are they made out of?Most chip packets are made up of seven or less layers of foil and plastic. With these layers, the packets become much lighter, cheaper when shipping, take up less space.The downside is that there’s currently no machinery to separate these layers, so they aren’t recyclable.
Is the packaging made from a renewable or non-renewable material?
This package is made out of non-renewable materials because the foil or plastic cant be pulled apart by a machine. So it becomes harder to recycle the package.
What happens to the packaging when you throw it away?
Once the packaging is thrown away, it gets thrown on the ground, blown into the gutters of our streets. Over time the packaging would be in the water (if there is a lake near by) or in a bush.

Does it have any impacts on the environment? Explain.
This packaging does have impact on the environment because when
you throw the packet on the ground over time it gets blown away
into gutters, then it ends up all over our streets.
Another reason is that when we create the foil and plastic it creates
pollution from the factories producing the packaging
