How many things can you recycle?

Answer 1

After a few years, you can reduce tons. Optimally, 70% of the garbage generated and discarded in a residential household is made up of materials that can be recycled, therefore, it is conceivable that for every 100 pounds of materials that normally would have been thrown away and taken to a landfill, 70 lbs. could have been diverted to a solid waste recycling facility. Since it is estimated that each household generates an average of 35 lbs of solid waste each day, the numbers add up. (35 lbs. x 365 days/yr = 12,775 lbs. or 6.39 tons)

Answer 2

The main ingredients in bottle glass are calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, and silicon dioxide. Each time glass is remelted, some of the sodium burns off, and so has to be replaced. Post consumer recycled glass can also sometimes contain contaminants (lots of dirt) that make it impractical to recycle. Other than those things, container glass is pretty much infinitely recyclable into container glass of the same color.
