Recycling Facts
Recycling enables used packaging to be turned into resin for new packaging. This bottle to bottle recycling approach creates a sustainable life cycle for plastic packaging and benefits the environment and economy as well.
- Collecting and recycling plastic bottles eliminates thousands of pounds of CO2 emissions from releasing into Earth’s atmosphere.
- Recycling creates more than 1 million US jobs in the recycled product manufacturing industry. There are 10 times more jobs in recycling than waste disposal.
- Recycling saves 3 to 4 times the amount of energy generated from incineration.
- One ton of recycled plastic saves 5,774 kwh of energy, 16.3 barrels of oil, 98 million BTU’s of energy and 30 cubic yards of landfill space
- Recycling 10 plastic bottles can save enough energy to power your laptop for an entire day.
