Recycling Facts for Kids
It’s important for kids to learn the importance of
recycling because they are tomorrow’s adults!
Below are some recycling facts for kids to help
them understand its importance!
Aluminum
Around 80
billion
aluminum
beverage cans
are used each
year. The amount of
aluminum thrown away
each year is enough to
rebuild our commercial
airplane fleet 4 times.
Paper
The average paper
consumption for
Americans is 700 pounds per year (6
times the global average!). That is
an average of 465 trees! If we all
recycle our share of
paper, we will save
around 100 million tons
of wood.
Glass
A glass bottle can take 40
centuries to be broken down if not
recycled. You can power a
personal computer for 1 hour
from the energy
saved by recycling a
glass bottle.
Plastic
Two and a half million plastic bottles
are used every hour in the
US but only 25% of them
get recycled. A nonbiodegradable plastic bag
can take up to 400 years
to break down.
