A bottle cap is technically recycleable, in that the plastic it is made from can be melted down and reused. However, it is not the same plastic that the rest of the bottle is made from. Unfortunately, recycling the caps from bottles takes a different process and many recycling companies do not (yet) have an economically viable method of harvesting the caps, reprocessing the materials and then selling it for reuse by manufacturing companies. So while the cap can be recycled, it often is not accepted for recycling.
