How far should I have to ship a glass bottle? Maybe just to the bottling company. Coco Cola has one 30 miles away. Don't have to melt it down and recast, just clean, refill. I wonder how the energy expenditure compares to having a 10x lighter bottle 1/2 way around the world? (to then be thrown away).
Plastic beer bottles it seems are not as popular as glass and the world drinks a lot of beer. Are there advantages to glass for beer?
- mensetmanusman 2y agoYes, complex flavor profiles of drinks like beer or wine (which can be stored for a long time) are negatively impacted by diffusion of various small molecules in and out of plastic bottles. This matters less for water or sugar water, but even Pepsi cares about the thickness of plastic used for something it knows will be drunk within a few months of production.
