Replace with glass and aluminum, with what's left over burn it. That way it has no way of creating any other problems in the future. If you are efficient with burning it you could even capture the greenhouse gasses produced as a result and sequester those.
- anon_cow1111 7y agoAs someone who rides a bicycle and hikes, glass bottles are the bane of my existence.
- mattmanser 7y agoGet reusable plastic ones and decant then.
- Scoundreller 7y agoI think their concern is others’ disposal of the glass on trails. Edit: though I do dislike the idea of biking with glass bottles, especially in a backpack. A plastic container absorbs impact and can make falls safer. Not so much for a glass container.
- anon_cow1111 7y agoI've lost so many tubes from glass fragments. Sometimes the tire even shifts around when going flat and pokes several more holes nearby. Still not as bad as people who throw bottles in the creek though.
- fooblitzky 7y agoStainless steel is usually a good option - it weighs less than glass and is more robust.

- arcticbull 7y agoAre aluminum bottles problematic? Sigg makes some great ones.
- fooblitzky 7y agoAluminum bottles/cans are lined with plastic, to prevent the liquids acquiring a metallic taste. Beer cans are usually lined with BPA - which is bad news for your endocrine system. Sigg bottles have recently moved to a BPA-free lining, but it's still plastic.
- s3krit 7y agoIn my country, you return glass bottles for re-use for about 15 euro cents. We don't see a lot of shattered glass bottles lying around...
- yeahitslikethat 7y agoGlass as is too heavy. Penn and Teller did a bull shit on recycling. Only aluminum is good for consumer packaging wrt recycling.
- morio 7y agoMost aluminum packaging has plastic liner. Which has to be burned away in most cases. Glass works if you bottle and reuse locally. Unfortunately infrastructure for this is long gone in the US.
- yeahitslikethat 7y agoIt burns away when the metal is melted. Not having glass recycling infrastructure supports p&t's point.
