Yes, all plastics are recyclable. When they are collected they are separated into their different kinds (this is why you should separate lids from bottles) and each kind is then recycled separately. It takes 7 oz of oil to make a 20 oz plastic bottle, so recycling plastic is very important.
If each bottle is 12 inches long, it would take 5,280 bottles.
