Recycling a single plastic bottle can conserve enough energy to light a 60W bulb for up to 6 hours.
It’s a no brainer to choose recycled plastic when it comes to saving energy. Recycling 1 ton of plastic saves enough energy to power a household for 7 months, and just a single recycled plastic bottle can conserve enough energy to light a 60W light bulb for up to 6 hours, using 75% less energy to produce than a virgin plastic one does.
