Why Recycle

Why Recycle - its inexpensive, earth-friendly and for some industries it’s the law!

In addition to the cost reduction business advantage of implementing a solid recycling program, also consider the following recycling facts:

  • The energy saved from recycling one glass bottle will run a 100-watt light bulb for hours
  • During the time it takes to read this sentence, 50,000 12-ounce aluminum cans are produced
  • Approximately 40% of U.S. waste includes recyclable paper
  • Americans throw away 25,000,000 plastic beverage bottles every hour
  • 44 million newspapers are thrown away in the U.S. daily, the same as dumping 500,000 trees into landfills each week
  • Some plastics take as long as 400 years to break down in a landfill. Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator.
