Is it bad to use “single use plastics” vs “eco friendly plastics” if I’m planning on recycling it anyway (mostly plastic bottles)?

**No Plastic Bottles are Recyclable** in practice.
In theory, they can be shreaded and turned into fill fibers. However, the worldwide demand for this kind of plastic bottle recycling can be one with one plant in a small city.
All those plastic bottles you throw in the recycle bin end up in a landfill, often a foreign landfill where many of them wash into the ocean. 100% of the plastic in the bottles you buy is virgin plastic, it’s a blow-molding industry requirement.
If you want recyclable bottles, buy glass, or aluminum. These are recyclable materials.
