      Yah, that’s not how they are recycled. That gets burned off by the temps required to melt the aluminum.

          It’s not. It’s a thin plastic film. One that doesn’t get into the environment at nearly the rate, since the aluminum is actually worth recycling.

              I think you may have an unworkable concept of what “solving” the plastic problem means, when you can’t tell the difference between a film and a bottle. Both of which have largely phased out BPA already.

        I, nor the poster you replied to, never mentioned recycling. Your starting to put things into the discussion that was never there.

          It does seem that way.
          I guess I’m not sure what problem you’re talking about.
