Plastic Wrap vs. Aluminum Foil
Assumption: Plastic is Earth’s kryptonite; anything, including foil, must be better.
Reality Check: Experts estimate that plastic hangs around landfills for up to 1,000 years; aluminum foil, 500. Yet plastic wrap is the better choice per use. Because aluminum foil manufacturing is so complex (starting with bauxite ore mining), it’s more energy-intensive and emissions-heavy. Making a square foot of plastic wrap uses about 30 percent as much energy and produces about one-tenth as many emissions as making foil.
Blikjes van aluminium zijn volgens mij wel beter dan flesjes van virgin plastic omdat ze gerecycleerd worden.
