Many housecleaning products come in plastic bottles with a nozzle, sprayer or pump mechanism.
The main body of the bottle is usually made from high-density polyethylene, which can be recycled. The spray mechanism, however, can be constructed from different materials -- often a metal spring housed inside plastic.
