Recycling is an essential part of bettering the environment; the more items are recycled, the less garbage winds up in landfills and incineration plants.
By reusing aluminum, paper, glass, plastics, and other materials, we can save production and energy costs and reduce the negative environmental impacts of processing virgin materials.
According to EPA data, recycling one ton of office paper can save the energy equivalent of consuming 322 gallons of gasoline. Also, recycling just one ton of aluminum cans conserves more than 152 million Btu, the equivalent of 1,024 gallons of gasoline or 21 barrels of oil consumed.
