Just using the words that it is made from “recycled plastic” or even the “made with 100% recycled plastic” does not mean it is necessarily 100% content of recycled plastic. If some of the product was recycled product it can and is claimed that the recycled plastic was used to make the bottle/container and even that 100% claim can be just to mean the recycled plastic is made up of 100% recycled plastic…none of it really means that the container is 100% recycled material with no virgin component. The curses of puffery and clever wording. If it used terms like “made of only recycled plastic” or “made entirely of recycled plastic” would give great certainty to the actual content of recycled material or if they made a claim such as “made from at least 50% recycled material”.
