Small dairies in the US do this. Our milk comes in glass bottles and we return them for reuse. I've always hoped this would catch on more.

You pay a $2 deposit, which you get back when you bring the bottles back to the store. Presumably they then ship them back to the creamery when they get the shipments of milk in.
