If your intention is to recycle, not _really_. Most eco-friendly plastics are plastics that biodegrade, so if you recycle then that advantage is gone. Some are just made of recycled materials, which would be the exception – buying recycled does help some.

The best thing to do is not use disposable plastic _at all_. Rather than plastic bottles, get a reusable bottle instead.
