"Squatty Bodies" are strictly throw away, single use bottles.

SFWIW, it is usually lower cost to recycle bottles that it is to clean

Have a customer who converts old bottles into cullet, then melts and
blows new bottles.

Quite common in food packaging such as catsup, to blow the bottle on
the line, then fill it with product since the bottle is still sterile.
