Recycling one glass bottle saves enough electricity to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours. Over a ton of resources is saved for every ton of glass recycled. Glass containers save 9 gallons of fuel (oil) for every ton of glass recycled. Most bottles and jars contain at least 25% recycled glass. Recycling glass reduces air pollution by 14-20% and saves 25-32% more energy than making glass from virgin raw materials.
