Without exception, recycling is the top action society can do to prevent waste from going into oceans.
If recycled, the 112 kilograms of waste you've collected could help in many different ways!
112 kilograms of plastic bottles recycled would produce enough fiber to fill
2,240 ski jackets
112 kilograms of plastic containers recycled would be equivalent to saving
224 gallons of gasoline
112 kilograms of aluminum cans recycled would save enough energy to power
22,400 hours of TV
112 kilograms of glass bottles recycled would save enough energy to power a
100-watt light bulb for 1,932 hours
