Aluminum foil impacts the environment primarily through its production and disposal processes. The mining of bauxite, the primary ore for aluminum, leads to habitat destruction and high energy consumption, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, while aluminum is recyclable, many foil products end up in landfills, where they can take centuries to decompose. Promoting recycling and reducing single-use aluminum products can help mitigate these environmental effects.
