So, I recently purchased aluminum foil that was made from recycled aluminum. Unfortunately, it's very thin and tears very easily. Nonetheless, I am trying to reuse it when I can. However, the standard aluminum foil (like Reynolds) is much thicker and offers an industrial strength foil that I am sure would withstand many, many uses. So, which is better? I like the idea of creating a demand for products made of recycled materials, but on the other hand, if I can find what I need and reuse it more successfully, then I don't necessarily need to buy aluminum foil as often. Which is more environmentally friendly, or is there not much difference one way or another?
