Glitter Words

Recycling Glass
  • Glass can be recycled virtually forever. It never wears out.
  • For every 2,000 pounds of glass that is recycled, we save more than 2,000 pounds of other resources (1,330 pounds of sand, 433 pounds of soda ash, 433 pounds of limestone, and 151 pounds of feldspar)
  • Most bottles and jars that you use contain at least 25% recycled material.
  • The energy saved by recycled just one bottle could light a 100-watt bulb for 4 hours

  • Recycling Metals
  • Recycling an aluminum can saves 95% of the energy needed to make aluminum from bauxite ore
  • In the United States, the amount of steel that is discarded and not recycled every year is enough to build all the new American-made cars

  • Recycling Paper
  • 75% of each tree that is cut down for paper is not used in a paper product
  • 98 tons of various resources are required to make one ton of paper
  • Paper made from recycled paper uses 70% less energy

  • Recycling Plastic
  • Americans use 4 million plastic bottles every hour, but only 25% of plastic bottles are recycled.
