Definitely something else.

From what I heard, it is a mix of recycled water bottles and gelatin (which is made from pork skins, horns, and cattle bones)

I know with plastic bumpers, there is a marking on them that indicates the material. E.g. the one below is marked PUR (for polyurethane). Take a close look at your part and see if it has something similar
