Here’s what recycling does for the environment, the economy, and the manufacturing industries.

• Recycling steel and tin cans saves 74% of the energy used to make them.

• Every ton of glass containers recycled saves over a ton of natural resources.

• For every 10% recycled glass used to make new glass containers, energy costs drop by 2-3%.

• Recycling aluminium creates 97% less water pollution than making new metal from ore. Aluminium can be recycled indefinitely without losing its quality.
