Recycling
- Recycling 1 tonne of paper can save 13 trees, 2.5 barrels of oil, 4,100 kWh of electricity, 4 cubic metres of landfill and 31,780L of water
- Making 1 can from recycled material (aluminium) uses 95% less energy than making it from raw materials
- Plastic takes 500 years to decompose
- Australians put 35 printer cartridges into landfill every minute
- 9 out of 10 pieces of paper from the average Australian office block go to landfill instead of being recycled
- It takes 125 recycled 2L milk bottles to produce a 140L wheelie bin
- In Australia, 67% of aluminium cans are recycled
- We recycle 35% of all aerosol cans, even though they are 100% recyclable
It's easy being green.
