The Pollution Solution
The U.S. recycling rate is 32%. If we’re able to get the rate to 75%, the effect will be like removing 50 million passenger cars from U.S. roads.
One ton of recycled plastic saves:
- 685 gallons of oil, which is enough to fuel the average American’s car for about half a year
- 98 million BTUs of energy – enough to provide electricity to the average US household for nearly 3 years
- 30 cubic yards of landfill space.
It’s easier than ever to recycle. It is your duty to do it.
