---------------------------------------
Plastic is made from Natural Resources - the materials come from oil and the energy to produce the bottle comes from coal, natural gas, or other sources depending where it is made.
While not a "natural" resource, I do consider plastic bottles resources because they contain large amounts of energy. Currently, a large percent of plastic bottles end up in landfills - rendering this resource useless. Instead, the plastic can be recycled so as to save virgin resources from being mobilized, it can be burned in a waste-to-energy plant to reduce its volume and create electricity, or it could be thermochemically converted into a variety of synthetic fuels and chemicals via various industrial processes (namely gasification/Fischer-Tropsch synthesis).
