It's sad when these packagers/bottlers like Coca-Cola used glass there was a great recycle program built into it. Very sad that this faded away as they changed to plastic.
- steve19 7y agoIt only faded away in the West. While staying at a hotel in Africa not long ago I was served Coke in a glass bottle over 15 years old. The bottle looked like what you would expect from a glass bottle that has been use for that long, but the Coke tasted just as good as it usually does.
- pixl97 7y agoGlass causes a massive amount of pollution via breakage and product loss, injury, and more carbon use because of its higher weight.
- PretzelFisch 7y agoAre their studies that compare glass bottle reuse to plastic bottles? Since a glass bottle just needs to be cleaned for reuse, I naively think it has less of a footprint then the plastic extraction, processing and recycling chain.
