The modern chip bag took decades to evolve from a single sheet to a complicated mix of plastics and aluminum. The design, referred to as a multilayered package, is used in everything from juice boxes to ketchup packets to yogurt pouches. The use of so many materials means the packaging is almost never recycled.
