Bottles can be recycled, but they can only go through recycling only once. Styrofoam can be recycled, but now some are produced with a different quality plastic that is bio-officiant. That means that if the Styrofoam is placed under water and soaked, it will break down and disappear. Plastic Bags, for example, can not be recycled because of the polyethylene and petroleum in the plastic. So that means it will take hundreds of years for a plastic bag to decompose and recycle!
