Many bottles now are actually made of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate which is biodegradable. It's made in bacteria that uses this compound to store extra carbon, so there are enzymes that degrade it, in contrast to plastic, which takes hundreds of years to degrade.

Are shampoo bottles recyclable?

It really depends on the brand of shampoo or the type of plastic that the bottle is made out of. Some companies have started making bottles out of recyclable plastic so check and make sure. If you don't know if a shampoo bottle is recyclable, check the bottom of the bottle or the label on the back for the number that is being surrounded by three arrows forming a triangle. Almost every city recycles numbers 1 and 2, but it depends on where you live. Hope this helps!
