It is estimated that recycling, composting, combustion with energy recovery and landfilling of municipal solid waste saved 193 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
That savings is equal to a reduction in carbon emissions that would result from taking almost 42 million cars off the road each year.
Recycling materials into new products uses far less energy than creating new materials.
