Adidas Makes Running Shoes from Recycled Ocean Plastic. By Competitor.com, Published Nov. 9, 2016, Updated Nov. 11, 2016 at 4:35 PM UTC.

By my calculations, that means one barrel saved for every 10,000 grocery bags recycled. Put another way, one shot glass full of oil is saved every time three grocery bags are recycled. That may not seem like much, but Americans use some 100 billion plastic bags each year. Recycling all of them would annually save 10 million barrels of oilâor more than 100 shot glasses per person.
