Even though most shampoo, conditioner and body wash bottles are made with easily recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics, only about 20 to 25 percent of the bottles are actually recycled. The likely reason? The transition to carry the empty shampoo bottle from the bathroom to the kitchen recycling bin gets lost on many unsuspecting people. To help your family recycle, consider placing a small recycling bin in the bathroom to not only collect recyclable plastics, but also glass and cardboard boxes.
