Then they’d be store-drop-off recyclable right?
Your cereal bags are recyclable? They aren’t also in cardboard boxes?
Cardboard box (normal recyclable) holding a plastic bag (can drop off at store if clean and dry).
Drop off at what store? In what country?
Yeah, reading this comment section as a German is mind boggling. You have to bring your food packaging back to the store you bought it from to get it recycled? We just have a separate recycling bin (and a separate paper bin and an organic waste bin) at home that gets picked up by the municipality
The only thing we have to bring back to the store are empty bottles to get the deposit back
Right? I couldn’t get any retailer in the Los Angeles, CA (USA) area to accept shopping bags, forget cereal bags. Happy that the state sued the shit out of them then banned plastic bags though: it always sucked when I’d forget my bag and I’d have to pay for that thick-ass plastic shit.
I do still struggle with plastic bags in packaging still though because my waste management company doesn’t accept them.

I think the bigger question is why do cereals come in boxes at all?
The cereals I buy don’t.
The boxes are really there to claim space on the shelf. They’re 100% marketing budget.
They also provide a protective layer that helps prevent the cereal from getting crushed. Potato chips do the same thing by adding a lot of air to the bag
So do cereal bags.
Couldn’t find the jar in time.
You can’t make a cereal box fortress out of bags
Also can’t keep it in a cabinet without it taking a lot of horizontal space
Lays is trialling then in the Netherlands at the moment and people are unhappy with chips going from €12/kilo to €20/kilo

I love the idea of chips in that quantity, makes people (inckuding myaelf) more responsible with their diet
These? :
You might call them crisps.
The heat would cause loads of condensation and ruin the lot
What heat does cereal go through that chips don’t? And how would it contribute to condensation in one case but not the other?
