Important Recycling Facts:
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. recycles 32.5 percent of its waste, a rate that has almost doubled during the past 15 years.
While recycling has grown in general, recycling of specific materials has grown even more drastically, including:
- 52 percent of all paper
- 31 percent of all plastic soft drink bottles
- 45 percent of all aluminum beer and soft drink cans
While the rate of recycling is increasing, the consumption of bottled water has also risen dramatically. According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation (BMC), while the average American consumed 1.6 gallons of bottled water in 1976, in 2006 each person consumed 28.3 gallons of bottled water. Typically, plastic bottles go to landfills and take 700 years before they start to decompose.
