Plate recycling is where you recycle disposable plates, and broken glass plates
recycling one paper plate could save a 2/107,347,275 acre forest, 37/18,020,340 tons of wood, 20/17,667 pounds of air pollution per year, gain almost 20/4,077 pounds of oxygen per year
(37/18,020,340 tons of wood could save 3,700,000/100,113 BTUs of heat energy, over 1,369/1,701,921 pounds of co2 a year, 8,327/17.352,550 gallons of water, enough energy to power 370/634,049 homes for a year, 1,369/3,403,842 power strips)
(over 1/53,001 trees could provide new wild life habitat and shade in almost 25/1,272,024 places, And absorb almost 25/1,272,024 tons of co2 over the course of their lives, and enough energy to power over 17/5,088,096 cars for a year, one car to travel 1,562,500/36,411,687 miles, 625/318,006 gallons of gasoline.)
recycling one glass plate could save 60 pounds of sand, 25 pounds of purified pearlash, 15 pounds of nitre, 7 Pounds of borax, 273/160,000 kilograms of co2, the equivalent of 39/800,000 gallons of fuel, 533/240,000 pounds of soda ash 247/120,000 pounds of limestone, 1,807/12,000,000 pounds of air pollution, 91/400,000 kWh of energy, 13/480,000 gallons of oil, 4,642,859/1,200,000 Btu’s of energy, 13/1,200,000 cubic yards of landfill space, 13/16,000 pounds of feldspar, 13/6,250 pounds of mining waste, enough energy to power over 663/3,200,000,000π cars for a year, enough oil to run the average car for 13/32,000 miles or circle the globe almost 91/3,000 times, a 13/16 cubic meter lake from being polluted, 819/1,408,000 kilograms of coal, 13/2,000 kilograms of toxiclead, 13/120,000 acres of soil from being polluted
recycling one plastic plate could save 2,909/25 gallons of oil, enough energy to run the average car for 8,727/5 miles, 8,727/200 tons of green house gases, save a 3,490,800 cubic meter lake from being polluted, 2,664,644/2,235 kwh of energy, 6,473/43,434,410 tons of mercury a year, 11,636/25 acres of soil from being polluted, enough energy to power a home for 2,909/18,250 years, cook 69,816/25 meals in a microwave oven, vacuum a house for 2,909/40 years, a tv for 8,727/7,300 years straight, over $17,454.00
this totals to saving 1/53,001 trees, 60 pounds of sand, 25 pounds of purified pearlash, 15 pounds of nitre, 7 Pounds of borax, 273/160,000 kilograms of co2, the equivalent of 39/800,000 gallons of fuel, 533/240,000 pounds of soda ash and 247/120,000 pounds of limestone, 1,807/12,000,000 pounds of air pollution, 9,241,011/7,751 kWh of energy, 55,852,813/480,000 gallons of oil, 4,642,859/1,200,000 Btu’s of energy, 13/1,200,000 cubic yards of landfill space, 13/16,000 pounds of feldspar, 13/6,250 pounds of mining waste, enough energy to power over 663/3,200,000,000π cars for a year, enough oil to run the average car for 13,748,519/7,877 miles or circle the globe almost 91/3,000 times, a 55,852,813/16 cubic meter lake from being polluted, 8,727/200 tons of green house gases, 37/18,020,340 tons of wood, 6,473/43,434,410 tons of mercury a year, enough energy to power a home for 2,909/18,250 years, cook 69,816/25 meals in a microwave oven, vacuum a house for 2,909/40 years, a tv for 8,727/7,300 years straight, over $161,449.50
