How many crisp packets are dumped in landfills per year?

Approximately 6.5 billion crisp (chip) packets are discarded globally each year, contributing significantly to landfill waste. These packets are often made from materials that are not easily recyclable, leading to environmental concerns. In the UK alone, it is estimated that around 200 million crisp packets end up in landfills annually. This highlights the need for better recycling solutions and waste management practices for such materials.
