Why Recycle?

Recycling delivers significant environmental benefits through avoided use of virgin materials and reduced energy use in production of the required materials.

For example, every tonne of paper recycled saves;
  • 13 trees
  • 2.5 barrels of oil
  • 4100 kWh of electricity (it takes 70% less energy to produce paper from recycled paper than from trees)
  • 4 cubic metres of landfill
  • 31,780 litres of water
Every tonne of paper that goes to landfill produces leacheate which contaminates the groundwater and produces methane gas which has a greenhouse warming potential 21 times higher than carbon dioxide.

Also, every tonne of food and organic waste recycled produces;

  • 100 kg of fertilizer

  • Enough electricity to power 16 homes and reduce 1.3 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions
