## How Recycling Reduces Emissions Recycling avoids emissions from manufacturing new materials from raw resources. ### Approximate CO2 Savings Per Pound Recycled - **Paper/Cardboard**: ~3.0 lbs CO2/lb - **Plastic**: ~2.5 lbs CO2/lb - **Glass**: ~0.6 lbs CO2/lb - **Aluminum**: ~10.0 lbs CO2/lb Aluminum recycling is the most impactful per pound because smelting new aluminum is extremely energy-intensive.

Ejemplo Resuelto

Weekly: 5 lbs paper, 2 lbs plastic, 3 lbs glass, 0.5 lbs aluminum.

  1. 01Paper CO2 saved = 5 x 52 x 3.0 = 780 lbs
  2. 02Plastic CO2 saved = 2 x 52 x 2.5 = 260 lbs
  3. 03Glass CO2 saved = 3 x 52 x 0.6 = 93.6 lbs
  4. 04Aluminum CO2 saved = 0.5 x 52 x 10.0 = 260 lbs
  5. 05Total = 780 + 260 + 93.6 + 260 = 1,394 lbs CO2
  6. 06Equivalent trees = 1,394 / 48 = 29.0 trees
