Not sure about this, but one article indicated that the bpa plastics were labeled on the bottom as recycling #7. Most of the disposable plastic bottles I have seen are labeled #1. Recycling the disposables as replacements for bpa-bearing vessels may actually be a solution to the BPA problem.

Disposable plastic containers are indeed a blight on the world. BPA might be a blight on the world. But they seem to be different blights. The stainless steel bottles are fine, but spendy, which represents a different bottom line.

I do wear tinfoil hats, occasionally.
