The Top Co2 Savers in Missoula: We weigh the recyclables of our business clients. We have done some research to discover how much atmospere CO2 recycling saves for PAPER (1.5 lbs.CO2 saved for every pound recycled) , PLASTIC ( 2.0 lbs. CO2 saved for every pound recycled) and METAL OR TIN ( 1.5 lbs saved for every pound recycled) and ALUMINUM ( 1O TIMES the lbs. saved in CO2 by recycling one pound).
Since a gallon of gas releases almost 20 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere, after combustion, we included the CO2 saved by recyling to the equivelent in gallons of gas.
