plastic bottles are recyclable

PET bottles yes, other plastic bottles not so much, or at least until someone figures out a way to turn plastic trash into a cheap alternative to petroleum.

Not really. Plastic gets damaged when heating it up to melting temps. You won't get a product that has the same properties, unlike with aluminium for instance. You can maybe get away with adding a small percentage of recycled pellets back in, but that's it.
