So its summertime and we all are probably going to do a bit of grilling. That got me thinking about the foil I use. Can I recycle it like cans? The answer is a resounding yes. Aluminum foil is highly recyclable. It is one of the few products that can be recycled over and over again. Recyclable foil requires only 5% of the energy to make versus regular aluminum foil which uses 95%. I also found out that two pounds of aluminum creates more than 300 ft of household aluminum foil. Therefore, when we use aluminum foil, you are using a product that saves larger quantities of transport energy, due to the lightness of the material, and when you’re done, you can recycle it again! You just have to rinse the foodstuff off the foil first and then place it in your bin. In doing my homework, I found a company called Greenfeet that sells recycled aluminum foil for just $3.99. Just go to their site www.Greenfeet.com and they’ll ship it right to your home. This all sounds well and good, but has anyone actually used recycled foil or recycled their used foil?
I have added it to my favorites! Sometimes it hard to fine some things local. Thanks!
