Instead of
Foil & cling film Reusable food covers
Why switch
Healthier
No throwaway plastic film touching warm, oily or acidic food.
Greener
Aluminium foil is hugely energy-hungry to make; a silicone lid or beeswax wrap is used thousands of times.
The impact
You, per year 5 kg CO₂
All of the world 40.5 billion kg CO₂ skipped / year
If everyone across the world switched, every year that’s:
- 40.5 billion kg CO₂
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Reduce
A few stretchy lids or wraps cover bowls and plates again and again.
Reuse
Rinse and reuse — silicone and beeswax last for years.
Recycle
Clean foil can sometimes be recycled; reusable covers mean you rarely need it.
