Aluminum foil is actually far worse for the environment than plastic wrap across the board. Mining bauxite (the raw material in aluminum) and processing it takes a lot of energy. To compare, producing one ton of plastic wrap uses 83% less energy and 88% less greenhouse gas emissions than the same amount of aluminum foil. Aluminum foil can be reused a handful of times. But to make it better than plastic wrap, you’d have to reuse it six times. Also, cooking with aluminum foil isn’t fine. Aluminum will leach into your food at unsafe levels and has been associated with Alzheimer’s, bone diseases, and can even reduce your brain cells.
