Title: [GreenYes] manufacturing from raw materials vs recycled materials

Hi folks,

I am looking for studies that evaluate the difference, in terms of
energy consumption or greenhouse gas emissions, between manufacturing
from raw materials vs. manufacturing from recycled materials. In other
words, how much GHG emissions are avoided by making a ton of x product
from recycled stuff instead of from raw materials?

Anything you have is welcome.

thanks,

Neil
