Right? What other possible materials could they use? Prior to plastic, we just cupped our hands and had people pour beverages into them, or directly into our mouths.
Plastics have been revolutionary in keeping our hands and faces from getting sticky. I, for one, refuse to go back to the days of sucking off the tap.
What other materials? Aluminium cans, glass bottles, or the bleached skulls of thine enemies!
Coca Cola used to use glass bottles, it is a material that is completely recyclable. Why change it?
Because recycling glass is more expensive than not recycling plastic.
Plastic is recycleable aswell. In Finland like 98% of plastic bottles are returned to the stores and new bottles are made of them. Glass is heavy and fragile and I don't remember ever seeing a glass bottle that's bigger than half litre or one that you can put the cap back on.
Glass is infinitely recyclable though, plastic deteriorates regularly overtime
Glass weight quite a lot which might make them worse for their transport 🤷
It's also obviously more expensive for everyone.
Except PET from plastics bottles which is the only common plastic that is fully depolymerizable/ repolymerizable, instead of simply being remeltable.
Not to worry. One can cork their bottle for all the sanitary and convenience benefits of keeping a variety of corks lying around and definitely not breeding bacteria in them.
Replaceable caps definitely exist, they are common on glass soft drink bottles where I am. They look just like the plastic lids but in thin sheet metal, complete with perforations and ring.
Some of the screwtop beer bottle style reseal pretty well too.
Better than recyclable, glass is reusable.
You can just send the bottle back to the factory, the factory washes it and refill it.
Sucking off the tap in winter when the water is crisp af is amazing.
Glass bottles are fun, I remember when beer mostly came in glass bottles. Glass shards everywhere and the metal caps being everywhere. Such a nice solution.
