If it has the recycled number on the bottom (probably code 2 HDPE) it is definately thermoplastic. One characterisitics of thermoplastics is that they can melt and be remoulded whereas thermosetting plastics can not (they will char). Therefore, it logically follows that if it can be recycled it will be a thermoplastic polymer.

Why milk is supplied in plastic bags instead of glass bottles?

Glass bottles break, and then you've got milk all over and broken glass to deal with.A plastic bag weighs less (cheaper to transport), is less likely to break, and even if it does then there's just the milk and a piece of harmless soft plastic.Now: the question of "why plastic bags instead of plastic bottles" is most likely because you live in America's Hat, Canada. I really don't know why they made this bizarre choice.
