Recycling does not create energy. It reduces the expenditure of energy.
No, recycled paper needs much LESS energy. It's much easier to make paper from recycled papers than from cutting down trees, chipping them, mashing them into fiber, pulping them and so on.
No, but an aluminum can can be recycled using much less energy than it takes to separate an equivalent amount of aluminum from its ore.
The energy required to make a glass bottle can vary depending on factors such as the size and shape of the bottle, the type of glass, and the production process used. Generally, it takes around 4,000 to 6,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) of energy to produce a single glass bottle.
It doesn't create any energy because energy can't be created or destroyed!

Australia: 56% of Australian waste either cannot be recycled, or is not recycled.
Yes, gold can be recycled. Recycled gold is melted down and reprocessed to create new jewelry, electronics, or other products. Recycling gold helps reduce the need for additional mining and lessens the environmental impact of gold extraction.
You don't have to use as much plastic or glass or whatever type of bottle it is and you can save those resources for other uses; like plastic can be recycled into a bin.
It is much easier to produce, say, aluminum cans from recycled cans. Making the cans from raw bauxite (aluminum ore) takes 21 times the energy. Glass and plastic are much the same.
Recycling copper saves fifteen percent of the energy used in producing the same amount from copper ore. Recycled copper has exactly the same qualities as copper from ore, so it can be recycled over and over without any loss. Copper is non renewable, so it is important to conserve it. Energy saved means fewer greenhouse gas emissions from the fossil fuel saved.
Recycled paper is 5 to 10 dollars.
The cost for a Coke was around 25 cents for a bottle. In most cases, the bottles could be recycled and you could get around 5 cents back.
