According to Reynolds, this product debuted back in April or May, but we haven't noticed it in our local grocery stores. It's foil made from 100 percent recycled aluminum. We already recycle our aluminum foil, but this is taking things one step further—and mainstream! Anyone used it?
Have You Tried This Recycled Aluminum Foil?
Aluminum is one material that can be recycled over and over again, which makes it a no-brainer that there would be recycled foil on the market. We've seen other brands like If You Care, but Reynolds really reaches a wide audience, and we're going to guess (although we can't say for sure) that it's less expensive than some smaller brands.
The packaging is also green, made from recycled paperboard and printed with water-based inks.
We first read about this foil on Bon Appétit's website, and we were surprised we haven't seen it yet in New York. Maybe we're just not looking hard enough. We're curious if anyone has bought and used this foil. Is it as thick and durable as you'd like it to be?

Yes, it's actually quite thick - thicker than other brands of non-recycled aluminum foil that I've used. I like it and would purchase it again.

It's available at Target -- I've bought some and it works well!

I've bought it in Jersey City at the regular grocery store. It's definitely sturdier than other recycled foil products. Buying recycled foil is a great purchase because it closes the recycling loop. Companies will keep finding new ways to recycle products if they know that people will buy the resulting product. Check it out!

I've heard that many brands of aluminum foil have been made from 100% recycled content for years...would love to know where to research this to find out the truth. I'd hope that it HAS been recycled for years, but I'd also hate to know that a company is telling a white lie to sell more product.

I don't often use foil but, when I do, that's the one I use and I prefer it to other brands.
@anang: since manufacturers consider re-using their scrap material to be recycling it's really hard to tell what's what (unless a manufacturer labels a product 100% post-consumer recycled content consumers aren't getting 100% of the information). Not sure where you can research that further.

Actually just used it on Sunday when baking an Apple Pie with Gouda Crust with a friend. I believe she had picked it up from the local grocery store.

I'm in New York and purchased it through Fresh Direct. It works great! I'll have to keep an eye out for it in stores.

Like happycamper, I bought some at Target and have noticed no difference.

I found it at my local grocery store several months ago and haven't noticed a difference between it and the other foil I was buying.
