Why I wouldn't express it as strongly as you, there is merit to this.  I have 
Lexan bottles that are still usable after over 15 years and that represents 
about 3-4 recycled PE bottles each.  Reduction is better than recycling in 
general.

It is possible to recycle polycarbonate - it just is not as easily done as other 
plastics.
