Some materials like aluminum can be recycled (20) as there is no change to the materials. Recycling aluminum saves 95% of the energy cost of processing new aluminum because the melting temperature is (21) from 900°C to 600°C. It is by far the most efficient material to recycle. Recycling plastic saves 70% of the energy used in creating new plastic, and paper recycling saves 40% of the energy required to make a new (22) 17. A. number 18. A. via B. amount B. with B. store 19.
