Don't want to go too OT, but in recent years, it's been about 30% for HPDE/PET bottles in the USA. The bigger concern to anyone claiming to care about the environment is how energy-inefficient most recycling is, not to mention the limited use for recycled plastics (it's not as if recycling plastic bottles makes plastic bottles). As others have mentioned, if Hyatt truly cared about the environment, they wouldn't be using plastic at all.
