MORE REASONS TO RECYCLE!

Plastic Container Recycling Facts and Figures:

>PET from the grocery store to your closet? May sound like and odd idea but it is true! It takes about five plastic bottles to make enough fiber filling for a ski coat, 25 recycled bottles to make a fleece coat, or 26 bottles to make a polyester suite.

>If every Canadian household recycled just one out of every ten HDPE bottles used, it would keep 200 million pounds of plastic out of landfills.

>Think throwing out a plastic bottle will make it go away? A plastic bottle will take 700 years before it will even start to decompose.

>Canadians use four million plastic bottles every hour, but only one quarter of them will be recycled.

>Enough plastic wrap is used every year in the US to cover the entire state of Texas.
