Glass bottles become new glass bottles.

Aluminum cans are turned back into aluminum cans, and can be recycled almost indefinitely.
Steel cans are used in other steel products such as car parts and construction materials, and can also be recycled over and over again. Plastic bottles are recycled into carpet, clothing, auto parts, and new bottles. Paper is recycled into new paper. Somegrades of paper can be recycled up to seven times.

Recycling is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the environment. Did you know that:

1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours. 1 recycled glass bottle would save enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes. 1 recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours. 70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with making it from raw materials.
