Composition
The main element of aluminum foil is aluminum (approximately 99.6%), with smaller amounts of other metals (magnesium, manganese, silicon, etc.).

Aluminum takes 80-100 years to fully decompose in the environment and poses a threat to the entire ecosystem when discarded improperly.
Disposal instructions
Dispose of aluminum foil in the appropriate container for waste metal packaging. Before disposing, the aluminum foil should be cleaned of any remaining contents; if it cannot be cleaned, dispose of it in the container for mixed municipal waste.
