Tip of the Day - Buy Recycled Aluminum Foil
Not all recyclables are created equal. The energy that goes into recycling, the actual amount of a product that can be recycled, and the amount of times a product can be recycled varies greatly.
Aluminum foil is a great option for food storage and general kitchen use.
According to Green Options:
Although foil is not made from petroleum, the mining and processing of aluminum is extremely resource intensive. The good news is aluminum foil is 100% recycleable, and recycled aluminum foil uses 95% less energy to produce than foil made from virgin aluminum.
Aluminum foil can be recycled over and over again. You can’t say the same for plastic wrap. So buy recycled aluminum foil and recycle it when you’re done.
