When You Can’t Reduce or Reuse… Recycle!
Paper…
For every ton of paper recycled, we save...
Aluminum cans…
Recycling aluminum uses less than 5% of the energy used to make the original product. Recycling ONE aluminum beverage can saves enough energy to run a 100-watt bulb for 20 hours, a computer for 3 hours, or a TV for 2 hours.
Plastic…
Producing new plastic from recycled material uses only two-thirds of the energy required to manufacture it from virgin raw materials. FIVE 2-liter recycled PET bottles produce enough fiberfill to make a ski jacket; 36 recycled bottles can make ONE square yard of carpet.
Glass…
Producing glass from virgin materials requires 30% more energy than producing it from crushed, used glass. Recycling ONE ton of glass saves equivalent of TEN gallons of oil.
