No, sweet packets are generally not recyclable through standard household recycling programs.
While they may appear to be made of foil due to their shiny appearance, sweet wrappers are typically made of a metallised plastic film. This material is a combination of plastic and a thin layer of metal, which makes it difficult and currently uneconomical to separate and recycle using existing infrastructure.
Therefore, sweet wrappers should be disposed of in your general rubbish bin.
