Making it Easy to Do the Right Thing

Carrie Harvey — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 23:55:12 +0000

Kudos to Reynolds Consumer Products Company; the makers of Reynolds Wrap Aluminum foil for the kitchen. On a recent trip to the grocery store, I found a Reynolds Aluminum Foil product made from 100% recycled aluminum. The quantity was the same and the price was less than the store brand, making it easy to do the right thing! In addition, they utilized water based inks and 100% recycled paperboard for the packaging.
Let’s hope more companies follow this lead, making it economically feasible to choose recycled over virgin materials.
