Aluminum foil is the result of processing metal. Ore is smelted and the metal is refined and then rolled out to form the foil. This is recovery and manufacturing. The foil is not a man made material. When you are lifting a cold can of beverage, the container you hold in your hand is fabricated, not man made. However, if you hoist a plastic bottle to drink something out of it, you are drinking from a man made material.
