Here in California, my TIDE comes in a recyclable bottle (marked on the bottom of the bottle). So I respectfully reject your "environmentally unfriendly" comment... it's the users who DON'T recycle who are unfriendly.
In our county, ALL trash is sorted for recyclable materials... they dump the trash on tables and conveyers and sort out the glass, plastics, and metals... and all organic material is turned to compost.
It's made of HDPE (high density polyethylene) which has a SPI resin code of 2, which means it can be recycled to become various bottles, grocery bags, recycling bins, agricultural pipe, base cups, car stops, playground equipment, and plastic lumber.
The thickness of the bottle is to contain all that heavy liquid

I have to agree with Robert S., but if your really worried about the environment, try using Method laundry soap. It's environmentally friendly, you can find it at Target. Then when your done, recycle the bottle.

I wouldn't say they're necessarily environmentally unfriendly. Depending on where you live those bottles can be recycled. I always put mine in my blue box when it's empty.
