Composition
The composition of a plastic bottle is indicated by abbreviations of the chemical compound from which it is made, most commonly HDPE (high-density polyethylene).
Environmental impact
Recycling plastic bottles reduces fossil fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. Improperly discarded bottles decompose very slowly, while detergent residues and scents can locally pollute water.
Disposal instructions
Dispose of it in the appropriate container for plastic waste. Before disposal, rinse out any leftover contents.
Factoid
Some manufacturers already produce bottles from 100% recycled plastic, thereby reducing the production of new plastic and lowering environmental pollution.
