The technology still exists to make throwaway containers with cardboard or from corn or other biodegrdeable materials. Paper grocery bags are better than plastic AND reusable/recycleable. Glass bottles with a deposit to encourage return were just fine. Aluminum cans are recycleable and valuable enough to justify the "bother." When I was a kid in the '50s I rejected plastic toys-too fragile! I had metal toy trucks: a big moving van, a road grader, and an earth mover. 5 comments
@taur10 @Npars01 @CelloMomOnCars @dbc3 @Npars01 @CelloMomOnCars Not real familiar m'self, though you do see some beers using them as an alternate package. No idea if there's a technical reason they can't be used for soda, or just cost. And they presumably are just as recyclable as aluminum cans, just resealable like a bottle without the risk of breakage that comes with glass. I tend to think Dr Pepper is in the best position to start the use of this as their beverage is unique, forcing people to pay if they want it. (...) @taur10 @Npars01 @CelloMomOnCars |

@dbc3 @Npars01 @CelloMomOnCars Don't forget aluminum bottles, they don't break like glass and can be recycled. I'd like to see a beverage company switch to these, maybe Dr Pepper as they're in a really good position to do it
