And it'll still be worse than the classic, returnable and reused, glass bottles.

  That's not that easy and depends on many factors. Glass bottles are heavy and have to be transported around. If they have to travel "long" distance, between filling, customer, cleaning and refilling it can be better, energy-wise, to use light plastic bottle which is "disposed" properly (maybe burning in power plant) For the local brewery reusable glass bottles usually win, though, on environmental perspective.

    The ideal would seem to be to have local bottling plants for everything. It'd be more expensive, but much better for the environment.

      Even better would be to just transport the syrup and the CO2, and combine them with local water at the point of consumption. AKA soda fountains.
