Those are quite transparent to harmful part of sunlight unfortunately. With light blocking devices, even a metal bell is less environmentally sound than foil - detergent and water to wash it occasionally have more footprint than a few meters of a few micron thick disposable aluminium.

I don’t really care about the environmental impact of aluminum foil, but maybe don’t leave your carboys sitting in the sun?

The light finds its way. Modern lighting (especially bright stuff I use for lab lighting) is less harmful than sunlight, but still harmful and broad spectrum. Compared to foil consumption on tools sterilization, this foil is nothing.
