> ...must issue plastic cups to curb broken class everywhere. Will we have to go back to glass... I'd say multiple-use polycarbonate is a better substitute. It has the rigidity of glass without the brittleness. What it lacks is hardness (it scratches rather easily) so these containers probably won't last as long as glass ones before they need to be replaced. > ...The current deposit fees on plastic bottles are too low, once you're earning enough money it doesn't make any financial sense to return them. Then thrash them, fine. As long as you don't toss 'm out of your window but put them in the bin when done with them they should end up in some recycling process, paid for by the deposit fee you waived. This does imply that the deposit fee balance should go to these purposes instead of ending up as a profit statement somewhere.
