I like the enthusiasm but plastics just aren't infinitely recyclable. Always remember the three R's are in order of importance. Reduce first, reuse second, and recycle only if the first two arent plausible.
Metal is infinitely recyclable as is can be melted down any amount of times. Plastics either break down when heated or need to be mixed with fresh plastic to keep some semblance of the properties of the original product, and even then only so many times before they are just non viable as anything other than trash.
