Eh.  That's silly.   Lexan is tough and lasts forever.  To me that's more
important than recyclable.  And I try and be as green as possible.   There
are millions of recyclable cheap plastic bottles clogging landfills. 

I wish "greenies" would focus on buying less, and buying things that will
last forever (including styles).  That's going to do as much or more than
recycling ever will.
