[greenyes] Recycling efficiency & GHG savings

[Andy Telfer <cwma@no.address>]

Dear all,

I'm looking for some statistics on the energy-efficiency of recycling vs 
new (virgin) production, specifically for wood, plastic, concrete and 
metal. Similar information on Greenhouse gas emissions (or emissions saved 
by recycling) would be great. Thanks.
