Recycling saves energy and reduces CO₂ compared to producing materials from virgin resources. Aluminium recycling saves 95% of the energy needed for primary smelting.
- 1CO₂ saved = Weight recycled × CO₂e saving factor
- 2Aluminium: ~9 kg CO₂e saved per kg recycled
- 3Paper: ~1.1 kg CO₂e per kg
- 4Plastic: ~1.5 kg CO₂e per kg
15kg paper + 8kg plastic + 3kg aluminium per year=CO₂ saved ≈ 16.5 + 12 + 27 = 55.5 kg CO₂e/yr
| Material | CO₂e saved/kg | Energy saving |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminium | ~9 kg | 95% |
| Plastic | ~1.5 kg | ~40% |
| Paper/cardboard | ~1.1 kg | ~60% |
| Glass | ~0.3 kg | ~20% |
| Steel | ~1.5 kg | ~60% |
