Fun Facts
Aluminum's Infinite Loop
Recycling an aluminum can uses 95% less energy than producing a new one from raw materials. A recycled can could be back on the shelf as a new can in just 60 days!
Plastic Saves Power
Recycling just one plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes.
Water Conservation
Recycling one ton of paper saves about 7,000 gallons of water, enough to fill a small swimming pool.
Recycling Rate
Cardboard is the most recycled material in the U.S., with about 92% of cardboard boxes being recycled. Recycled cardboard can become a new box in as little as two weeks.
Endless Lives
PET plastic bottles can be recycled into fleece clothing, carpets, or even new bottles. Recycling 10 plastic bottles can save enough energy to power a laptop for over 25 hours.
Massive Energy Savings
Massive Energy Savings: Recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy required to produce it from raw ore. Steel's Second Life: Recycled steel is used in cars, construction beams, and even appliances, keeping materials in circulation indefinitely.
Cell Phones' Hidden Treasure
For every 1 million recycled cell phones, we recover 35,000 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, and 75 pounds of gold—the equivalent of over $2 million in precious metals!
Plastic Perks
It’s estimated that Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour, yet only about 27% are recycled. If all were recycled, the energy saved could fuel millions of cars annually.
Energy Champion
Recycling just one glass bottle saves enough energy to power a 100-watt light bulb for 4 hours, or a compact fluorescent bulb for 20 hours.
Glass Forever
If not recycled, a glass bottle could take up to 1 million years to decompose in a landfill—essentially lasting forever.
Infinite Loop
Unlike plastic, which degrades with each cycle, recycled glass & aluminum can keep going through the process indefinitely, essentially making it the "immortal" material of recycling.
Tree Saver
Recycling one ton of cardboard saves 17 trees and 50% of the water used in making new cardboard.
