The energy cost that would apply to Edwin, but not to Eleanor, is the cost of processing the bottle after it was no longer used.
Eleanor threw her bottle away, implying it was sent to a landfill (thus no processing cost), while Edwin recycled his bottle, which requires energy to process the recyclable materials.
