  13. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Benefits At an 80% recycling rate for beverage containers (more than twice the current rate) an additional 3 million tons of GHG emissions could be avoided. This would be the equivalent of taking nearly 2.4 million cars off the road for one year. Container Recycling Institute 2006

  14. Energy Benefits Using 10% post-consumer recycled content in all PET carbonated soft drink and water bottles in 2004 would have saved the equivalent of: • almost 1.6 million barrels of crude oil • about 72 million gallons of gasoline • over 270,000 homes for a year Container Recycling Institute 2006
