Is the (foil) packaging environmentally-friendly?

Hard to tell but the say to error on the side of "not" and I tend to think it's not recyclable. Doesn't mean it's not environmentally friendly. May be made from recyclable means. Most likely is.

There is no foil packaging in this box. Each tea bag is individually wrapped in paper. So, yes, the packaging is environmentally friendly.

I re-wrapped (in zippered plastic bags x 2) my package and kept for several months (not much used at one time). Hope this helps!

Yes. In my order they were each individually wrapped in plastic which is not very environmentally friendly but they are, overall, wonderful!

Hard to say. Food packaging comes in many forms, cardboard, plastic, metal, etc. I only use it on paper, it does not rub off or smear on paper.

Nope. Lucky you! Congrats! You are purchasing pure cardboard and toxic plastic. The footprint of making, packaging and shipping this thing (from China) far exceeds the cost to the power of ten. So, like I said, congrats for being kind to cows! ;-) (Seriously, this thing is pure crap. Think twice).

None is listed on the outside of the package. I would guess that as long as the foil outer package isn't broken or opened in anyway the cartridge would remain good. Once it is open, of course, the "drying out" process will begin. I haven't had to use mine yet, just bought them to have on hand as they are no longer in stores.

Yes it is!!! Not the packaging. It is plastic recycle it or you can refill at a retailer that carries it!

This item is made of a heavy duty reflective material, but it's not aluminum foil. I hope this helps!

I peeled it off, I think it was part of packaging. Although I cann't see any harm leaving it on.

Not that I'm aware of. There were no precautions pertaining to temperature on the packaging.

Depends who you order it from. It usually states whether it is shipped in foil packages or original packaging.

Hi - it's inbetween. It's paper backed but has firmness of medium weight foil I'd say.

The short answer is "I don't know". My more verbose answer begins with "I would think so, probably for a year or so (but see short answer)." The front and back exteriors are aluminum foil, about the thickness of regular food-wrap aluminum foil, maybe a little thicker. Assuming that the application is stationary (not being hinged by a gate, for instance), you are essentially looking at how long a sheet of aluminum foil would last in that environment. Also, the foil and innards are entirely water-free, so there is no danger of freeze-thawing. Bottom line: If I had a potential outside application for the insulation - I'd give it a shot.

I do not recall any issue with the packaging, if that is the question. Aside from that, this is the best cover I have ever had, great snug fit and durable, unlike some the more expensive branded ones that tend to break on the corners.

Yes I use foil quite often. There is no problem. Think of it as a mini conventional oven that's a little faster

Yes, they're recyclable - made completely of paper/cardboard. That's why I chose them over bubble envelopes.
