You have to remove the plastic label if you want to recycle this plastic bottle.

You mean you have to remove the plastic label before you throw the bottle into a recycling bin which gets dumped into a landfill never to be seen again.

And that's if they're lucky. There's also a decent chance it will end up piled up on some foreign beach/riverbank to slowly leach into the ocean.
