Right but imagine that millions of people have to transport bottles to thousands of retail locations. Those need to be sorted and picked up and send to many locations to be cleaned, inspected, relabeled and filled. If it were centralized that’s one thing. But every company that makes drinks will need to collect their bottles.
- smegger001 3y agoWe had that solved by people laying down a deposit with their initial purchase, and would then exchange their empties for full bottles at the point of sale. The same trucks that delivered full beer/soda/ect bottles can return with the empties back to the distribution center and another truck take them back to the bottler on the return trip. Those trucks all have to go back anyway so its not an additional burden.
