Even if it gets recycled, it's not free.
Raw materials need to be collected, processed, and transfered. The bottle-quality plastic has to be created and transfeed to the bottle making factory.
The bottles transfered again potentially, filled with water, wrapped in more plastic, transfered again.... all that before recycling.
