MarBorg Industries recycles over 150,000 tons or 300,000,000 pounds of material per year.
- That's equivalent to 20,000 trash truck loads every year that do not go to the landfill.
- That's enough trash trucks to fill the highway bumper to bumper from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles.
Other Benefits of Recycling
The California Integrated Waste Management Board has determined:
- For every ton of material landfilled, $289 enters the economy
- For every ton of material recycled, $564 enters the economy
- According to the Environmental Defense Fund, recycling a ton of material saves the energy equivalent of $265 in electricity, petroleum, natural gas, and coal - that's after deducting the energy used for collection.
