Reynolds Wrap recycled alumninum foil



This is awesome, I was just useing some alumninum foil and wondered if there was a recycled option, then I saw a commercials for this!

Reynolds Wrap Foil from 100% Recycled Aluminum. The website says it is made from a combination of pre and post consumer waste, but does not give percentages.

The packaging and core are also recycled - made from 100% recovered paper ( this also does not specify post-consumer waste) and the inks used on the product packaging are water-based.

For Earth Day Reynolds is offering a Rebate on the new recycled foil!
