The environmental impacts of using disposable aluminum foils for cooking include increased waste generation, which contributes to landfill accumulation. Aluminum production is energy-intensive, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, while aluminum is recyclable, improper disposal can result in less recycling and more pollution. The use of disposable aluminum foil also promotes a culture of disposability, which can exacerbate environmental issues by increasing the demand for raw materials and the generation of non-biodegradable waste.
