Glass Facts House hold facts Each UK family uses an average of 500 glass bottles and jars annually. The largest glass furnace produces over 1 million glass bottles and jars per day. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be used again and again. Glass that is thrown away and ends up in landfills and will never decompose. 1 recycled glass bottle would save enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes. House hold facts The largest lake in the Britain could be filled with rubbish from the UK in 8 months. Almost half of the contents of our dustbins could potentially be recycled. We could compost an additional 30% of vegetable peelings and other organic waste that we throw away. Making compost from kitchen and garden waste can reduce 50% of all refuse going to landfill. The unreleased energy contained in the average dustbin each year could power a television for 5000 hours.

Paper facts 70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with making it from raw materials. Recycled paper produces 73% less air pollution than if it was made from raw materials. 12.5 million tonnes of paper and cardboard are used annually in the UK.
