RECYCLING FACTS - Plastic

Plastic milk containers are now only half the weight that they were in 1960.

If we recycled every plastic bottle we used, we would keep two billion tons of plastic out of the trash.

Recycling a pound of PET saves approximately 12,000 BTU's.

We use enough plastic wrap to wrap all of Texas every year.
