It gets thrown away.
it pollutes the atmosphere
Paper and plastic are the most recyclable products that are thrown away most. The packaging that you buy makes up 80 percent of most household trash.
When paper is thrown away, it usually ends up in a landfill where it can take a long time to decompose due to lack of oxygen and sunlight. This contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and waste accumulation. Recycling paper is a more sustainable option as it reduces the need for new raw materials and lessens the environmental impact.
it stays there for thousands of years, as foil has metal in it, it does not decompose
When paper is no longer used, it can be recycled to make new paper products. If it is not recycled, it can decompose in landfill over time. Recycling paper helps to save trees and energy that would be used to produce new paper from raw materials.
