WHAT DOES IT REPLACE?Non-recycled aluminum foil.
The goal here is to use aluminum foil sparingly because it's so resource intensive and takes about 400 years to break down. The worst is using it to store food, one because it's not good to keep your food in it, and two because most folks end up throwing out the food with the aluminum foil. Try glass storage containers to store your left overs, use glass or stainless or parchment paper in the oven, and instead of wrapping your food on the grill choose from a variety of grill accessories that won't let the veggies escape. When you do use it, use 100% recycled, and then wash it (or it put it in the dishwasher), reuse it or recycle it.
