However, if your heart is truly begging and pleading for you to own a mountain of candy, The Wilderness Society suggests buying candy in bulk and buying sweets that comes in cardboard packaging rather than plastic. This shockingly small change means the material has a chance of being recycled rather than simply thrown away. But if you must buy your favorite treat and all its sticky mess of plastic foil wrap, know that there is still at least one option for recycling. TerraCycle is a company that upcycles Twix, 3 Musketeer, Snickers, Starburst and a variety of other wrappers sent to it, uses the material to make backpacks, tote bags and even laptop sleeves.
