Answer:

Every single tonne of recycled plastic cuts carbon emissions by 1.6t and preserves 2t of crude oil. And each tonne that is recycled is not just one tonne less which the industry has to buy as crude oil on the global market – it is also one tonne less of waste plastic in our seas and oceans.
