Houston, TX – All You Need to Know About Commercial Aluminum Foil Recycling

BY: Eric Coan, Mission Recycle

Aluminum is everywhere when it comes to food. Employees bring aluminum in their lunchboxes, and aluminum can also be used for packing up takeout food. Luckily, this material is a very recyclable material. 

In fact, aluminum can be recycled in many ways and up to 75% of aluminum products are recycled in some way. Keep these tips in mind for aluminum when implementing office recycling.

Employees Need to Know Aluminum Is Recyclable

The most important thing to implementing office recycling is that employees know what is and isn’t recyclable, and aluminum most definitely is. Sadly, aluminum foil is not biodegradable and will take up to 400 years to break down in a landfill. So, make employees aware that many kinds of aluminum should be recycled.

Contaminated Aluminum Foil

While aluminum foil can be reused and recycled, it cannot be recycled if it is contaminated. So, if aluminum foil has been used for lunch leftovers, it will be considered contaminated. It can’t just be balled up and thrown into the recycling bin. Office recycling programs need to educate employees about contamination so that recycling isn’t ruined upon pickup.

Think Big

Establishing recycling protocols in the workplace, while it may not seem like much, can make a big impact. Once your office green team has implemented recycling and worked with an office recycling company to work out a method and procedure for office recycling and recycling pick up, then it’s time to think about expanding the impact. Employees that jump on board will even take these recycling tips to other places, including their homes. Anything we can do to make a difference has a big impact.
