Recycling Facts All Cardboard and white paper went to a local manufacturer that turns it into toilet paper rolls and brown envelopes. Paper products omit serious amounts of methane when placed in a landfill to decay. Plastic bottles are shredded in Dar es Salaam into flakes and then a portion are made into fiber in Tanzania. Others are exported to Europe or South Africa. These are then used to make new plastic bottles, plastic chairs, berry containers or even shirts or jackets. 1 recycled plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for three hours. Cans went to a local company that will melt it down into new metal products like steel frames and bars One recycled can saves enough energy to power a television for 3 hours. Aluminum cans can be recycled and ready to use in just 6 weeks. Glass went to a local manufacturer that crushes the glass and reheats it to make new bottles. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be used again and again Glass that ends up in landfills will never decompose
