- matt_the_bass 8y agoI’m curious If the total energy content of the glass bottle is more or less than the aluminum can. Especially with and without recycling.
- TillE 8y agoCans are lighter, but glass bottles are far better for recycling. They can be simply washed out and reused many many times before you need to melt them down.
- mdnormy 8y agoAnd taste better. But for business its all about cost. Cheaper material, easier to control in manufacturing line, cheaper to move around. Can it is.
- Aloha 8y agoif you use the correct bottle for resuse, then yes - notice I said recycling, with is different from reuse - reuse requires a much heavier grade of bottle glass than is currently used.
