THE IGEC SMART RECYCLE INITIATIVE

The Green Energy Council Reduce , Reuse, Recycle Initiative

Today the US recycles about 20% of its glass,40% of its paper, 50% of its aluminum and 60% of its steel.

Recycling is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the environment.

  • 1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours.
  • 1 recycled glass bottle would save enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes.
  • 1 recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours.
  • 70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with making it from raw materials.
